Event by Orienteering New Brunswick
An out of this world line-O event!
A line-O is staged in much the same way as cross-county orienteering in term of maps, starting intervals, etc., but there is one major difference; NO controls are marked on the map, only the route. The competitor follows the route as carefully as possible over the terrain. There will be draw prizes, a UFO-themed photo booth, and the event fee has been reduced to $5 per person or $15 maximum for a family.
If new to the sport Centennial Park is a good venue for trying it out. Go solo or in a team. There will also be volunteers to help you get started.
