Cazenovia Park Night-O
November 12, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Bring your flashlight or headlamp and join us for orienteering in the dark at Cazenovia Park. This low-key event will feature a handicap format that has all participants starting at the same time and hopefully finishing at the same time as well. (Faster orienteers will run a longer course.) The goal will be to have everyone finish in 40 minutes. When registering you will be asked to rate your physical and navigational abilities.
Online registration is required to guarantee you a map. Register here. The deadline for online registration is 11 PM Thursday, November 10. A few extra maps will be printed to accommodate last minute on site registrations. The cost to participate is $10 per person ($5 for members) and $5 for Juniors. The map scale is 1:5,000 with a contour interval of 2.5 meters.
Check-in at the event site is from 5:15 to 5:45 PM. The mass start is at 6:00 PM.
The event HQ is the lobby of the Timothy J. Burvid “Cazenovia” Ice Rink at the corner of Abbott Road and Cazenovia Street in South Buffalo. (42.848569, -78.811404) Parking is available on the street, in the ice rink lot, or behind the Tosh Collins Senior Center. Below is a map of the HQ. If you have questions, email the Event Director, David Cady.
