Permanent Orienteering at the Canmore Nordic Centre
 
The Canmore Nordic Centre, Trail Sports and the Foothills Wanderers Orienteering Clun have teamed up to offer permanent orienteering at the Nordic Centre. This is a great opportunity for runners who want to add some variety to their training.
 
There are three courses of increasing difficulty (Green, Blue and Black) for runners, walkers and hikers. In addition there is a fourth course for mountain bikers. The courses will change three times each year - in the spring, summer, and fall - to give people new challenges and to take them into different parts of the park. A special race will be held on the opening day of each course. 
  
To try the permanent orienteering courses, please visit Trail Sports at the Canmore Nordic Centre. For $5 you will receive an orienteering map (to keep) and the rental of an electronic timing chip and compass. When you have completed the course your time will be recorded by Trail Sports.

Canmore Trails Weekend 2009
 June 12-14th
Canmore 
 
A celebration of trails and the special places they take us.
It is on our trails that we exercise our bodies and minds, meet our neighbours and show off the best of Canmore to our friends and visitors. Perhaps most importantly, it is while walking, running or cycling along our trails that we maintain a connection to Canmore's natural surroundings.

An initiative of the Bow Valley Trails Advisory Group (TAG)*, Canmore Trails Weekend offers a variety of opportunities to explore, learn about and give back to the trails that we all enjoy. Most of the activities are free to attend. Unless otherwise indicated, simply show up at the listed time prepared to take part.

Sincerely,  

Anna Collins and all the team at Ultimate Fit Centre
