CANADIAN ORIENTEERING CHAMPIONSHIPS
MIDDLE & LONG DISTANCE
Lying along the spine of the Niagara Escarpment about 100 km northwest of the cosmopolitan Toronto urban centre, Mansfield is a unique, well-drained area with virtually no water or rock features. An extensive trail network laces through this newly remapped terrain, with a highly runnable forest and a range of contour detail from complex, rolling ridge and valley closer to the Outdoor Centre, to flatter, subtle sections in the Dufferin County Forest.
A challenge for all and one of the real jewels in the crown of Canadian orienteering!
