Royal Oak Night and Day Orienteering Weekend – A Tale of Two Events

“Two of everything.” That turned out to be the theme of the Royal Oak Night and Day Orienteering Weekend. Two complete sets of courses with starts less than fifteen hours apart. We had two different light situations – one event in the dark of night, one event in daylight. Not that we wanted it we had two different weather situations – cold and wet at night; bright and just the right temperature the next day.


Fortunately we had one great venue for both events. The Royal Oak Pub welcomed orienteers to use their facilities thus providing indoor warmth for our registration and timing teams as well as a generous discount on our food orders and gift certificates for draw prizes.

Emily Kemp takes 11th position in WOC middle distance

Congratulations Emily - 11th position in the World Orienteering Championships middle distance event.  Orienteering Ottawa is very proud of you!

Emily Kemp of Orienteering Ottawa has taken 11th position in the World Orienteering Championships in Italy.  This is the 3rd best any Canadian has ever achieved in any WOC event in the past.  She ran 4.96 km with a 230 m climb, punched 16 controls in 41:19 min - just 4 minutes, 16 seconds behind the winner over a (in this writer's opinion) a mind boggling map.  (Have a look)

Emily is a dedicated orienteer who moved to France some years ago to train with the French team, get a university degree, and work on her fluent french.  She is an achiever!  She may be home to take part in the North American Orienteering Championships in October when you can congratulate her personally.  Meanwhile, send her a note on Orienteering Canada's Team blogspot .
