The Toronto Orienteering Club, with the help of the Ukrainian Orienteering Club, are the hosts of the first weekend of races: the Canadian Orienteering Championships middle and long distance races.

 

Mansfield is one of the classic and historic orienteering landscapes in Southern Ontario.

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!
