Kick-Start and Starry Night O-Cup double header Orienteering Ontario O-Cup

Organizers: Tim Grant (Event Director), Nick Duca (Event Director)

Kick-Start the 2020-2021 O-CUP season with two races in one day! This year the Stars present Kick-Start, a great O-CUP By Day, AND Starry Night, an O-CUP After Dark! O-CUP points will be awarded separately for each race, so it is a great chance to leap to the front of the O-CUP standings.

COVID-19 guidelines from Public Health and Orienteering Canada will be followed for this race. No refreshments will be offered post-race, and staggered/multiple starts will be used to avoid crowds at the start. Further details will be made available closer to the race.

All participants must complete a waiver online here.

Please complete a declaration of health on race day and bring it to the race.
