Summer Orienteering
For those of you who don't flee the city during the summer we often offer either a training program or a set of events.
Whether it is training or events, they will be posted on the Upcoming Events column on our home page. Check throughout June or contact us if you would like to help out or to initiate a series. Details of any series of events or training (upcoming or most recent) follows.
Summer Sprints 2024
Orienteering Ottawa is excited to offer our Summer series this July and August as a set of sprint events.
There will be 2 courses to choose from: Short (2-3 km) or Long (3-4 km) Sprint or you can do the long and follow with the short if time allows.
These events are designed for everyone - whether you'd like to walk and focus on improving your navigation skills, or challenge your race skills against your friends and club-mates.
Regular meet fees apply.
For some tips on Sprint orienteering see our maps page and review the Sprint Orienteering tab.
