​​

​​Welcome to the Collingwood Waterfront Map Adventure!

 
This will be an urban and park orienteering event where you will use a detailed map to find checkpoints around the beautiful Collingwood waterfront area. Whether you're a first-time navigator or an experienced racer, this will be a fun challenge for people of all ages and fitness levels. You may run or walk but please obey traffic signals and be courteous to others.​ Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

​​​

START LOCATION

Meet in the parking lot at the north end of Birch St. This is next to the Collingwood Rowing Club at 3 Birch St, Collingwood. Please check in between 9:00 am and 9:40 am. There will be a Course Planner briefing at 9:45 am and the event will start at 10 am.

​

COURSE AND CATEGORIES:

This is an individual event except for those in the Family Category but individual participants are welcome to go out together.

​​

You will be given a map with marked checkpoints that you will visit on foot. (No bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, etc.) When you find a checkpoint, you will either find a punch that you'll use to mark a card you'll be carrying or else you'll need to answer a question using information found nearby. The time limit will be 75 minutes.

 

We'll begin with a set of checkpoints that everyone must visit in sequence. Then for those who have time, there will be a number of optional checkpoints spread out over a larger distance around the waterfront area. Participants who visit more checkpoints within the 75-minute time limit will earn a higher score.

 

A compass may be useful but is not mandatory. A limited number of loaner compasses will be available - first come, first served. This event will be suitable for people of all ages who are comfortable using a map in an urban area.
