Edmonton Overlanders Orienteering Club

Everyone, including newcomers, are welcome to any of the events listed below. There will be a
beginners' clinic and a beginners' course at every event. Come dressed for the weather in
old clothes. There is no need to let us know you are coming (unless you are
bringing a group of 8 or more*) - Just pick an event
and turn up!
The cost for non club members is: $10 per adult or
$10 per
couple/family sharing a map (higher at forest events). *Large groups, let
us know as early as possible by sending an email to the Events Coordinator.
Wednesday evening events are a great place for beginners to learn the sport and
for regulars to practice their skills. Short/easy, medium and long courses (loops) are
available. Register, take a beginners' clinic and start any time between 6:30 and 7:30
pm (earlier in September).
Weekend forest events include beginner, novice or intermediate, as
well as technically advanced courses. A compass, SPORTident timing card
and whistle are required for
forest events; all can be rented at the event site. The times for the forest events
are not standardized. Higher fees for forest events. All EOOC events
on this schedule go RAIN
or SHINE
