6001 Currie TNT + Tues Social (Veranda at the Stables) 2025-12-16 17:00:00 2025-12-17 20:00:00 Tim McLaren 8193 3 FWOC https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/ https://orienteeringcalgary.ca/events/view/6001 Information Tuesday Update: metal spikes/studs highly recommended for the icy patches. Otherwise, go slow even if the pavement looks bare. If coming to the drop-in social Tuesday 7-9pm, the entrance to Veranda has just moved to the south (patio) side. The start/finish area and small parking lot to the west of Veranda is very icy -- the big lot to the east is bare but alleyways might be icy. A traditional point-to-point course in the historic Currie Barracks area. Pin flags will be out 12pm Tuesday through Wednesday night. Also join us for a Tuesday evening social at Veranda at the Stables (a busy but relaxed brew pub/distillery/restaurant in the former military stables) from 7-9pm Tuesday. Please RSVP for the social by adding your name on this page or email vicepresident@orienteeringcalgary.ca if you think you will be able to pop-in Tuesday night. We don't have a guest list so feel free to pop in or not without a RSVP, but it will help us book a large enough table during the busy festive season. All ages and guests welcome. The map is a recently updated 1:4000 scale sprint-standard map with several route choice options through a winter wonderland of parks and relatively low-traffic streets. Expect to go about 4.5km if you find the most efficient route. There is an option on the map to shortcut the furthest controls which should take about 2.5km. Shoe spikes and a headlamp are highly recommended especially if going after dark. Expect a mix of hard packed snow & ice, dry pavement, and new snow on Wednesday. Free parking is available on most streets and in the lot to the East of "<a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/6fQzcDXiuhdLjMEB8" target="_blank">Veranda at the Stables</a>" where we will have the Tuesday social. The Start/Finish will be on the north-west side of the Stables building. The TNT map location will be emailed ahead of the event. <img width="600" src="https://data.whyjustrun.ca/files/6/6/LCMLzAp5LEWKH5cKT_ROBQ.png" "=""> <img width="600" src="https://data.whyjustrun.ca/files/0/8/LN-q-DIA72I_dBTfR7Jy0A.PNG" "=""> <img width="600" src="https://data.whyjustrun.ca/files/1/6/41qpmlfIr5aWGr7pgdTNOQ.PNG"> <img width="600" src="https://data.whyjustrun.ca/files/4/8/_JyAvcxdmHTiFaM_vmUV6Q.PNG"> If you are doing the TNT and don't have a TNT pass yet, please <a href="https://2mev.com/#!/events/2025-2026-tnt-series-registration" target="_blank">purchase one here</a>.
