NAVIGATION TRAINING INFO
We offer a number of different options for those looking to level up their Nav Game:
Beginner Nav Clinics
For those who are either looking to take part in their first Adventure Race or Run. These sessions are in two parts:
1) Self-Paced Portion - learn the basics of map and compass skills at your own pace with our five-part YouTube video tutorial series (about 1.5 hrs)
2) In-Person Portion - the second half of the clinic puts into practice the concepts and strategies introduced in the tutorial videos (about 2 hrs)
Beginner Nav Clincs are scheduled on select dates in the Spring through to the Fall. More details here.
MapRun Series (formerly X-League)
These are a series of Virtual courses that can be run in your own time which utilises an app called MapRun.
These courses are the perfect fit for:
-
A first timer who claims they could never do a Dontgetlost course (the app tells you where you are at all time)
-
People who want to get their feet wet, but can't make the dates of our In Person races and clinics
-
People looking to explore somewhere new for their runs or some variety in their usual running routes
-
Experienced navigators looking for a reason to push a little harder on their training runs
All courses are on trails, no bush whacking necessary. Learn more here!
