The Yukon Orienteering Championships finished up with the long-distance course at the Mt. McIntyre Recreation Centre on Wednesday evening.

Orienteerers set off from the wax room at the ski base on a variety of courses ranging from a few kilometres for the novice athletes, to up to nine kilometres for more advanced athletes.

Following the championships on the Yukon orienteering calendar, is the return of the Wednesday night B meets starting July 7. The meets will run every second Wednesday until the end of September.
