Provincial Championships, October 18, 2009 Provincial Championships, October 18, 2009 South Sides Hills (St. John's)
The registration and parking for the orienteering championships will take place at the Shea Heights Community Center. Take Blackhead road from Water Street and drive towards Cape Spear. You will have to cross over Southside road and then take the second right into Shea Heights. At the next intersection you will see the entrance to the Shea Heights Community Center. The Community center is at the intersection of Linegar Avenue and Chafe Avenue.
We have moved the start time 30 minutes earlier because of the large number
of cadet entries. The first runners will leave the starting gate at 10:00AM. Please check your start time and be on site at least 30 minutes beforehand to pick up your bib and pay your registration fee. You can look at the start time
information and suggest a start time but please do not pick a start time
later than 12:30pm. We will try to keep the start information updated.
