Welcome !
Welcome to Whitehorse, Yukon, and the 2027 Canadian Orienteering Festival.  The Canadian and Western Canadian Orienteering Championships will be held over 7 races on 7 different maps, including 2 WRE (contingent on IOF sanctioning), 2 new areas and 5 revised/expanded maps. Your hosts - the Yukon Orienteering Association - welcome you to Run the Midnight Sun. The week includes the Sass Peepre Jr Camp, a Learning Summit, Banquet with silent auction and the popular Team Canada Fundraiser.

COF2027 events will take place on the traditional territories of the Carcross/Tagish First Nation, the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council. We are grateful to compete and celebrate on this land, sharing a small part of its long history with its ancestral stewards. 

Best overall  4 of 5 Individual Races

In addition to awards for eligible participants at each event, a points based system will be used to determine the overall festival winner in each class. You will accumulate points (based on time behind the leader) in the sprint, COC middle, COC long, WCOC middle and WCOC long.  Your best four results (in the same class/category) will be used to calculate your total points. All participants (regardless of nationality) are eligible to win a festival prize. Prizes for overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
