</p><h3>Updates</h3><p><strong>October 31
</strong>
</p><ul>
<li>Course distances and climb updated below.
<ul>
<li>The Intermediate and Advanced courses are long with a LOT of climbing. They will take longer than you think, so you may want to bring some water and a snack.</li>
</ul></li>
<br>
<li>Important Gear
<ul>
<li>Compass</li>
<li>Leg covering (long pants) except on beginner course</li>
<li><strong>Mandatory: Whistle</strong></li>
<li><strong></strong><strong></strong>Declaration of Health form (see link under COVID Precautions below) signed on the day of the event, November 1</li>
</ul></li>
<br>
<li><strong>Remember the time change!</strong></li>
<br>
<li><strong></strong>Event Safety Plan added under COVID Precautions below.<strong></strong></li>
</ul><h3>Schedule</h3><p>This is a one-day, in-person event.
There will not be assigned start times, please scatter
yourselves out throughout the start window (although we encourage new
orienteers to arrive during the first third of the start window).
</p><ul>
<li>09:30 - Check In Opens and First Starts</li>
<li>11:00 - Last Start & Check In Closes</li>
<li>13:30 - Courses Close - All Participants Must Report to the Finish by This Time</li>
</ul><h3>Courses and Classes</h3><p>As this is solely a
training event, no classes will be used, and all participants are free
to pick the course of their choice to suit their desired technical and
physical challenge. Please select a course that you can complete within 2.5
hours for the sake of our volunteers - thank you!
</p><p>This is Spion Kop. That means that, while the courses are relatively short,
there is significant climbing and descending on them.
</p><p>The courses are still being finalized, but the following should serve as
general guidelines.
</p><ul>
<li><strong>Beginner: 2.4km & 145m of climb</strong> - Family friendly hike on
trails with all controls on or next to trails.
</li>
<li><strong>Intermediate: 3.2km & 240m of climb</strong> - A mix of on trail and
off trail navigation designed for people who have been doing some of the
easier courses at training throughout the year and for individuals not
wanting to endure the advanced course. Most legs have an option that is
mostly on trail with the controls near trails, though there are a few legs
with at least the option of more off trail travel for the adventurous.
</li>
<li><strong>Advanced: 4.9km & 400m of climb</strong> - A physically demanding course with a lot of
climb, controls that are significantly off trail, and a lot of route choice options
and navigation.
</li>
</ul><h3>Location</h3><p>The event centre, registration and start/finish, is located at the Spion Kop Trails Upper Lakes Trailhead in The Lakes subdivision in Lake Country. This is about 15 minutes north of the Kelowna airport
and 25 minutes south of the Vernon hospital.
</p><p>There is a small parking lot at the trailhead and parking is
also available on Derek Trethewey Drive just below the trailhead. This is a residential
neighbourhood, so please be respectful of the local residents and park on the side of
the street away from the houses.
</p><h3>Registration</h3><p>Pre-registration is
mandatory for this event, and is capped at 45 participants (so that we
stay under our 50 person COVID event maximum). Register by clicking on
the green "+Register" button on the right hand
side of the page. The registration deadline is at 12:00 (noon) on
Saturday, October 31. If you did not orienteer prior to this year and
have yet to use this registration system, you may
need to create an account on this website in order to register. Please email the
Event Director as per the contact information at the bottom of this page if you
have any questions or difficulty doing so.
</p><p>Maps will be printed by the event organizer and will be picked up at the event check in.
</p><p>All participants must be a member in good standing of
an Orienteering Canada sanctioned Orienteering Club. If you are not
currently part of an orienteering club, you can join the Sage
Orienteering Club.

</p><p>All participants must fill out the appropriate Sage waiver prior
to attending the event as well. If you have attended a Sage training
since the beginning of July, you have already signed this waiver and do
not need to sign it again.
</p><p><a href="https://zone4.ca/register.asp?id=24090&lan=1&cartlevel=1"></a><a href="https://zone4.ca/register.asp?id=24090&lan=1&cartlevel=1"></a><a href="https://zone4.ca/register.asp?id=24090&lan=1&cartlevel=1"><button class="btn btn-danger">Youth Waiver</button></a>

</p><h3>Cost</h3><p>This is a free event for all Sage Orienteering
Club members, but we are incurring costs of about $3.50 per participant
from insurance costs, map printing, hand sanitizer, etc. We will have a
cash only donation box on site (with no return change) which is
strictly optional.
</p><h3>COVID Precautions</h3><p>To help with
social distancing and minimize group size, Orienteering Canada
guidelines also recommend not
socializing at the event site before or after you have done your course.
Please review the linked documents for further guidance from
Orienteering Canada and event details.
</p><ul>
<li>Declaration of Health <a href="http://www.orienteering.ca/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/OrienteeringCanada_DeclarationOfHealth.pdf">here.</a>
You will need to print one off for each individual attending the
event, and sign it on the event day, whether they are participating or not (this includes young
children). We will have some extra copies on hand, but please bring
your own printed copy and writing implement.
</li>
<li>Guidelines from Orienteering Canada <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cvhALEizTvdus4b91vferiAbz_6690-hB-EYe3cM5rk/edit">here.</a> Please read through these before registering.</li>
<li>Sage Orienteering Club's Return-to-Sport Guidelines <a href="https://nextcloud.sageorienteering.ca/index.php/s/C9aE7kFak2SbfWy#pdfviewer">here.</a></li>
<li>Sage Orienteering Club COVID-19 Event Safety Plan <a href="https://nextcloud.sageorienteering.ca/index.php/s/gmgi9XGCf4kZjp2" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
</ul><h3>Timing</h3><p>Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we
will not be using SI timing. The "Bakker GPS" system, used at all Sage
trainings so far this year, will be used. Participants will record their
GPS track using their own Sport Watch (Garmin, Suunto, Fitbit, etc.) or
smart phone, and then upload a .gpx file of their track to the results
website after the event. Participants will be allowed to attend without any sort
of GPS tracking system, but participation in the timing system is
strongly encouraged. Controls (checkpoints) will be marked in the terrain
using full sized orienteering flags, along with large, laminated
numbers hanging from the flags. Participants are asked to get close
(within ~2m) to the flags, but not touch them.
</p><h3>New Orienteers</h3><p>We are trying to
make this event friendly to new orienteers. We are offering very
beginner friendly courses, and will ensure we have someone available at
registration to help you with getting started in the sport in a socially
distanced manner. We encourage new orienteers to bring a mask to the
event site if they would like to get some coaching instruction. Masks
are not required during the event itself.
</p><h3>Map Details</h3><p>This is a brand new map that has been drafted and field checked to orienteering
standards. It has been significantly updated from the computer-generated map that
was used for the spring trainings at Spion Kop. This is the first event on this
new map. Have fun exploring it!
</p><h3>Volunteering</h3><p>We could use some help with control pickup after this event.
If you are able to help for even just half an hour picking up control
flags from the event immediately after the event please let us know at
registration. Thanks!
</p><h3>Contact</h3><p>If you have any questions, please get in touch with the event director, Kevin Matrosovs by email: <strong>xnavor AT gmail DOT com</strong>.
