Welcome

The Ottawa Orienteering Club is proud to host the 2010 Canadian Orienteering Championships August 15-22, 2010. There will be seven days of orienteering, starting with a Farsta event, finishing with the three Championship races and including a junior camp, COF O'sessions and a unique ‘City Search-O’ to help you tour our nation's capital.

The Farsta will be held at a popular park in the City of Gatineau. This area features open rock and confusing trails but very different from the terrain we are using for the Long and Middle.

Young orienteers will be able to participate in the Sass Peepre Junior Camp. It’s a great place for youngsters 10-20, to learn and excel at the sport, to meet others of like interests and to simply have fun.

For those who would like to tour the city, we will have a 'City Search-O' to help you see all the best of this city of parks, museums and waterways, from an orienteer's perspective.

The Canadian Orienteering Federation (COF) will once again be hosting its yearly workshops, with valuable O-sessions for all orienteers. The federation’s AGM will be held in conjunction with the workshops to allow Canadian orienteers the opportunity to learn what the COF is doing to promote and support orienteering across the country.

Monday's classic meet will be held in Gatineau Park, an area that has featured orienteering for the past forty years.

Wednesday's Chase Sprint will be at the meet centre at Carleton University. Carleton is a modern university campus with the usual array of passages, dead-ends, stairs, quadrangles and small parks.

Thursday's relay will feature a new map with an 'arena' where you can join in the excitement of cheering your teammates as we see if your club can better the 2 wins, 1 third of OOC teams from the 2009 COC's in Manitoba.

This will be the first time in its history that the Canadian Orienteering Championships will be held entirely within the boundary of one of our largest cities. But don’t let that fool you! The Long and Middle events will be on terrain as wild as anything in the Canadian Shield. The Sprint will be among the buildings of a federal government campus. They are events not to be missed!

We are planning to make this a week everyone can enjoy, from the elite orienteers whose skills will be tested, to those who enjoy a good challenge and run in a new area, to the beginner orienteers who can enjoy their time in the woods and then join others to cheer on our top athletes.

Hope you will join us. Details can be found on the schedule page.
