Description:Registration: Pre-registration is not required. But it is very helpful if you email by Thursday Sept 23 so I know how many maps to prepare. In the email, just say how many maps you would need. Each member of a team should have a map (included in regular registration).

Start Time: I will try and stick to a rigorous 12:00 start time for the 4 hour. Doing this is easier if most of the participants arrive before 11:30. This also gives you more time to look at the map before you start. For the 2 hour, you can start any time between 12:00 and 2:00.

Getting There: The start will be at the end of the Old Post Road.
Take the Enfield exit, just north of the Halifax Airport. Go east and pass the Irving Big Stop at this exit. Take the first right toward Oldham. Take left on Old Post Road. Drive to the end.

Map: is a 1:10:000 top map updated with some added roads taken from satellite images on google maps. I might give you some printouts of these satellite images also.

The course will be mostly trail walking or running with some navigation through woods. You don't need previous orienteering or rogaining experience to participate: the main thing is familiarity with using a compass. If you are nervous about being in the woods, then the 2 hour is probably a better option.

You can do with groups of any size (dogs allowed).
