Westmoreland Sanctuary and HVO are again joining together for their annual 3 for 1.
Orienteering is a fun outdoor activity in which you run (or walk) a pre-determined course through the woods, by navigating to certain locations on your map using only a map and compass to guide you. These certain locations are called “control locations.” Once you reach the control location, you will use your “finger stick” (an electronic memory device) to record your time at that specific location. Your time is recorded at the end by a computer and a winner of the race is determined.
This can be as competitive as you want; from a nice, relaxed stroll in the woods, to making your competitors eat your dust! It is enjoyed by kids, families, groups, and individuals of all ages.
New to the sport – this is the one for you – some easy courses and instruction available. Experienced and think you know Westmoreland – don’t be too sure – there are still spots you haven’t visited -yet
Either way, come along to Westmoreland Sanctuary, look at the animals, run a course or two and enjoy nature.
“3 for 1” has two beginners courses White/Yellow and one intermediate Orange, do one course – if you like it try another – no extra charge.
