SPRINT EVENT
The NAOC2014 National Team Relay will be a great spectator event with the National teams from Canada, US & Barbados competing. In the spirit of friendly international competition, the relay will also be open to other countries who either form their own or a mixed team to compete. All team members must have competed in the elite categories in the individual races at NAOC2014 (21E or 20-‐E) to be eligible to be on a relay team. Each team must be comprised of two men and two women, with the women running the first and last legs. After the National Team Relay all other NAOC2014 participants will be able to run for their club in the PEOPLE’S CUP FINALE. This will be on the same course as the National Teams in a mass start solo event by age class. There will be a lot of forking so following is not an option. Challenge yourself -‐ can you beat the National team members on the same course? Let them cheer you on through Robert Simpson Park & Gillies Grove.

TERRAIN
12 www.naoc2014.ca
Carp Ridge -‐ Middle & Long
The Carp ridge is a 30 Km long rocky outcrop just west of Ottawa. It’s a beautiful piece of the Canadian Shield popping out of the flat and fertile Ottawa Va l ley fa rmland that surrounds it. Most of the ridge has been designated as a conservation a r e a t o b e p r e s e r v e d f r om development. While most of the ridge is privately owned, the City of Ottawa is slowly buying up sections in the heart of the ridge as part of the preservation process. Orienteering
Ottawa is fortunate to have event-‐based access to most of the area.
The terrain is made up of forested, rocky ridges, with many large and small marshes and a fair bit of rock detail. Beavers are active in the area with many beaver ponds and dams. Some sections have an extensive trail network and other areas are completely wild and undisturbed. The ridge is mapped with 2.5m contours to reflect the intricate topographic details. The relief is often rather vague and hills are less than 10 metres high. The area has a mix of runnability from open hardwood forest to denser vegetation. The result is a very technically challenging area that will be a great test of your navigational skills. We have included a map sample of the new portion of the map for you on page 11, with the older existing map.
The sprint and relay take place in the town of Arnprior, with a mix of urban areas, parkland, and forest. The forested part is a tract of old growth forest, with towering white pines and sugar maples, many root stocks, and a dense trail network. The area has only small elevation changes. Uncrossable fences, hedges and forbidden areas add challenging route choice elements to the very fast running of the forest and parkland. Closed streets of downtown Arnprior for the sprint add to the excitement and the challenge as competitors change gears multiple times throughout the race. The arena and the downtown streets both offer superb spectator opportunities.

AWARDS
BJORN KJELLSTROM CUPThe Björn Kjellström Cup, named after a Swede who was instrumental in introducing orienteering in North America, is a competition between the national teams of the USA, Canada and now Barbados, at the senior level (M21E, F21E). Contested every 2 years, it was first awarded in 1980. The cup is currently held by the USA.
FUTURE CHAMPIONS CUPInstituted in 2012 at the NAOCs in Pennsylvania, the Future Champions Cup is the junior version of the BK CUP. It is contested by the national teams at the Junior level (M20-‐E & F20-‐E). In 2012, the cup was somewhat aptly won by both two competing countries -‐ Canada and the USA.
PEOPLE’S CUPOne of the initiatives of NAOC2014 is the creation of the PEOPLE’S CUP. This is a club competition that takes into account the results of all competitors by club. The club with the best results over the whole weekend will take home the cup, with Monday’s PEOPLE’S CUP FINALE after the NATIONAL RELAY.
AWARDS & MEDALSEach of the three championship events will feature a flower ceremony for the top 3 runners, in the elite categories, at the arena at the close of each race. There will also be a medal ceremony for all classes at the end of each day, as part of the evening festivities at the Event Centre. This will include national anthems but we promise they won’t take all night. Not only will the ceremonies be worth it but the awards -‐ created by Lorna Guttormson are incentive enough. Medals will be awarded to the top 3 North Americans in each age class. The winner being crowned the North American Champion. Awards will be given to the top 3 finishers in each age class regardless of nationality.

FESTIVAL
Our aim is to make NAOC2014 a fun and festive experience. With our partners the Town of Arnprior, we are planning several initiatives to make this aim come true.
OPENING CEREMONY: Wear your club or national colours including flags, banners, jackets etc., and join the festivities. Let’s show the town what Orienteering is all about. Starting at 6:30pm sharp on Friday the 10th we will officially open NAOC2014 with a parade of clubs/nations in the arena of the Event Centre. The ceremonies will also feature a cultural exhibition , torch lighting, music and and official address. Make sure you are in Arnprior to cheer on your club/nation. These festivities will be followed by dinner at 7:30.
MARKETPLACE: While Orienteering Ottawa loves arena production, this year with our partners in Arnprior, we are adding a marketplace full of local food, craft and other vendors. Grab your lunch here or browse the souvenirs to take home and remember Arnprior, then get back to the excitement of the races.
SPECTATING: On first sight of the Sprint Arena you will say “WOW! What a view!”. There will even be bleachers. We will also have souvenir programs and an area for fans to collect autographs. Our announcing team will feature local sportscasters with orienteers keeping you informed and engaged throughout the day as you cheer on your fellow orienteers at spectator controls and in the finish chute.
KIDZONE: Don’t let your wee ones give you concern while you are out on course. You can focus on your race as Laura Teutsch has some great activities to keep the young ones active and safe.
AFTER-‐HOURS: When the races are done each day NAOC2014 will not go to sleep. While some may want to be preparing for the next day’s event, we will have activities to keep everyone else entertained. From the meals to music and other activities, evenings in Arnprior will be worth staying at the Event Centre.
THEME-‐SONG: NAOC2014 has commissioned local band the ORIENTEERS to create our theme song -‐ TAKE CONTROL. This is a first for NAOC. Check out the song on SOUNDCLOUD!
