Come and try different shoes from the test fleets of <strong>Salomon</strong>, <strong>Hoka</strong>, and <strong>Asics</strong>. Then you can run a course in Crescent Heights. Gord is a local running store owner (<strong>Gord's Running Store, 919 Centre Street NW</strong>) who has always been incredibly supportive of orienteering!! He also has thumb compasses in stock. The test shoes should be there by 5:30!</p><p>There is very limited parking at the store - and Gord then needs your plate number. But there is street parking around - just check all the signs!<br></p><p>Check back for updates! There will likely be fantastic deals and maybe prizes! I believe there will be a <strong>draw for Brooks shoes</strong> as the Brooks rep can't make it on this night! Also, Gord is offering a <strong>25% discount on regular priced items (not electronics or watches)</strong> for club members!</p><p>The longer courses will be off trail, and the Bluffs are quite steep - so shoes with good traction recommended, especially if it is raining! Or try out some shoes! If you are using your own traction shoes, bring a spare dry pair for inside after your run.</p><p>There is an area that is out of bounds as the slope has experienced subsidence. It is shown as <strong>Out Of Bounds</strong> on the map and you shouldn't need to go through there! But be aware! And remember that olive green is also out-of-bounds!<br></p><p>Teresa has been extending the <strong>sprint standard</strong> map - another reason to come out for the first event of the WEO season!! The map will be <strong>1:4,000 with 3m contours</strong>. </p><p>Note that everything should be set up by <strong>5:30</strong> (no deals etc before the store closes at 6) - so you will have lots of time afterwards to hang out at Gord's!! And maybe win a prize or get a good deal! And enjoy some snacks!</p><p>There will be 3 courses:</p><ul><li>short and fairly easy (Young children should be supervised - this is not a TD1 course) 1.2k only one short climb of ~18m! There will be road crossings. And be aware of cyclists.</li><li>intermediate: some off-trail on the Bluff. 2k and ~60 m of climb. Road crossings. Cyclists.</li><li>Long: ~4k with ~105m of climb. There will be a map flip, using the new symbol!! And may not seem like a 'sprint' course...! Actual distance will be more like 5k. Road crossings. Cyclists.</li></ul><p><br></p> 5383
