RACE / COURSE SETTER NOTES
- The Top Canadian in the Men & Women elite classes will automatically be selected to run for Canada at the 2016 World Championships Sprint races in Sweden. For full details see the 2015/2016 Senior National Team Selection document on the Orienteering Canada website.
- Footwear > Shoes with spikes are not permitted in this race.
- Clothing > It is appropriate to wear shorts / have uncovered legs during this race if that is your desired clothing choice.
- Course distance > the course distance has been calculated using the shortest runnable route, not the straight line distance.
- A reminder that you may not step foot in any out of bounds/olive green areas. Be prepared to be disqualified or disqualify yourself if you do.
- As is common with university campuses during the summer, there may be some areas of construction/landscaping projects that are not marked on the map.
- Remember that there are other events/conferences/day to day campus life happening. Be respectful and courteous. Share the campus with other users, it is not ours to use exclusively. And as always watch for vehicles and be careful when crossing roads.
- The course setter has added some artificial barriers to enhance various route choices. These are marked on the map with the purple uncrossable barrier symbol (a thick purple line) (see below for example) and will be marked in the terrain with stakes and flagging tape.
- A commonly used cross description is the junction of a building and a wall. Below is an example of the control description and an example of the map illustrating the control description.
MAPPER NOTES
The University of Prince Edward Island was mapped in mid-November 2014 from base material provided by the City of Charlottetown. The area was re-checked sprint/summer 2015.
The map is a typical university campus with buildings with complex detail around entrance ways, lots of treed lawn, paved pathways and small patches of garden. Both symbols 421, impassable vegetation (extra dark green), and 527, area with forbidden access (olive green) are used to mark cultivated vegetation that are illegal to pass through. If the vegetation is physically difficult to pass through (e.g. a hedge) then it is mapped with 421. If the vegetation is physically easy to cross through (e.g. a garden patch) then it is mapped with 527. 527 is also used to map private property. Small gardens are additionally surrounded by cultivation boundary symbol 414 (a thin black line) to improve their visibility on the map. There are also numerous power transformers and other large man-made features throughout the campus which have been mapped to shape in black. Smaller man-made features such as salt-boxes are not mapped.
