Welcome to the FINAL race of the Determinator Series!
Courses in this event would allow you to explore beautiful off-the-beaten-path trails at Royal Roads University.
This final event is a staggered start, with your start time calculated based on your performance at the previous four races in this Determinator series. Please arrive a minimum of 15 minutes prior to your start time to check-in at registration and prepare yourself. Start Times are very exact (to the second!) based on calculated handicaps, so please make sure you start at exactly the right time listed.
Start times
With the handicaps providing an equalizer between faster and slower orienteers, the Finish should be a close race with mere seconds separating the finishers. This should lead to an exciting conclusion to our popular Determinator Series for 2026.

IMPORTANT: Each upcoming Determinator will rank participants based on their performance at the previous events using a handicap system. Results and handicaps will be posted after the first event. This system gives a chance for everyone to compete against each other no matter their experience or speed as the handicap system creates a great equalizer.
See you out there!
