N4N's is a 6 week introductory adventure running program for adults

​

Both sessions of the course have been run in January, however, due to popular demand, we are happy to introduce a spring session!

 

The focus of this program is to have participants learn and implement the basics of navigation, providing all of the introductory skills needed to take part in an adventure run (Raids or some solo adventure races).

 

NAV FOR NEWBS will begin March 27th and will start with introducing the basics of map reading and navigation and will, over 6 weeks, provide the building blocks for participants to confidently take part in an end of season race ​

​

​JUNE 1st N4N Scramble (RACE FEE INCLUDED IN PRICE)

​

Each session for the spring will be 2 hours and will be facilitated by Kim Doogan and a couple of guest leaders with extensive knowledge related to adventure running and the sport of orienteering. Kim has been one of the main facilitators of the N4N program since its inception and is a wonderful instructor! 

 

Sessions will take place on Thursday evenings at 6:00pm and will have some discussion on the weeks topic prior to running a course. Pre-session notes will be sent out a week prior to Thursdays session to allow participants to understand the weeks topic.
