There is a lovely, hidden trail network here! <br></span> </p><h3>Courses</h3><p>Two courses are available a beginner course (which is challenging for a beginner course) and an Advanced course (which is also pretty challenging for an advanced course). These are not for complete newcomers to orienteering. </p><p>Controls are marked with orange flagging tape with silver striping attached to clothespins. Be aware that some control markers might go missing over the course of the week, especially those on more heavily used trails. If you're sure that you're in the right place but don't see one, this could be why.</p><p>The courses will be up until the end of Friday, May 9.</p><h3>Registration</h3><p>Registration is at the following Interpodia 2M Events link: </p><p><a href="https://2mev.com/#!/events/kelowna-self-directed-2025-bata"></a></p><a href="https://2mev.com/#!/events/kelowna-self-directed-2025-bata"><button class="btn btn-primary">Register Here</button></a><h3><br></h3><h3>Cost</h3><ul> <li>No cost to Sage Orienteering Club members</li> <li>$5 for visitors from other Canadian and international orienteering clubs</li> <li>$5 per event for day-of-event participants to try it out before getting a club membership</li> </ul> 5862
