Navigation Marathon and Dundurn Rogaine
22 and 23 April 2006 CANCELLED
It is with reluctance that I tell you that the Navigation Marathon and Dundurn Rogaine planned for 22 and 23 April has been cancelled. I have just learned that a 1200 member Task Force on predeployment training for Afghanistan will arrive in Dundurn on April 21st and leave in mid May. They will be using all training areas leaving no opportunity for another user.
Taking into account all factors surrounding putting on this event, the next weekend we can hold this event is 28 and 29 October 2006. The decision on whether not to proceed with the October dates will be made in late July.

From the start to the finish on the second day, including the over-night camp, the team is a self-sufficient unit, responsible for it’s own safety and well being. Help cannot be sought or accepted (from any non-competitor), unless the team has retired or requires help for an injured party. This event is a score orienteering type event.
