Winter Wednesday training event, January 28th

January 25, 2026 by

The next COC event is an evening training event on a new map at Lake Wilderness Golf Course in Maple Valley.  This event features night orienteering with an opportunity to try different orienteering skills.

The Winter Wednesday events are low key and can be leisurely (just finish by 8:30 PM) or intense.  At the last Winter
Wednesday we tried a “five minute challenge” – who can maintain an average pace of 5 minutes per kilometer?  This is the pace of top orienteers at some World Championships in not-so-steep terrain and at the Lynnwood Golf Course event Matthew Rogers was able to sustain a pace of about 4:35 per kilometer.  We might never host world championships on our local golf course venues but they are generally not-so-steep.  Come give it a try!
