Kick Start and Starry Night O-Cup races Orienteering Ontario O-Cup

Organizer: Nick Duca (Event Director)

Kick-Start the 2021-2022 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.

Guidelines from Public Health and Orienteering Canada will be followed at this race. No refreshments will be offered post-race, and participants will be asked to wear masks at registration and when physical distancing is not possible.

All participants must complete a waiver (adults here or minors here) and a declaration of health on race day. Paper copies will be available at the registration desk for those who do not print their own.

Both Kick-Start and Starry Night follow the O-CUP handicap rules. Participants have the option to skip checkpoints (or dog bones in the case of the Starry Night) in each box equal to their handicap point total. Handicap points for this year's course will be awarded as follows:

• 6 - Women 12 or younger, Men 12 or younger, Women 65 or older
• 5 - Women 14 or younger, Men 14 or younger, Women 55 or older, Men 75 or older
• 4 - Women 16 or younger, Men 16 or younger, Women 45 or older, Men 65 or older
• 3 - Women 19 or younger, Women 35 or older, Men 55 or older
• 2 - Women 20 to 34, Women ranked in the top 10 in Canada, Men 45 or older
