Might have a map for the night trail run and some of the talks will involve maps but mostly running training. The idea is that you take the data from the running training's such as the 3k time trial and interval workout and start to build a training plan for the year based on the data. Some of the exercises at the track will be micro sprint stuff with simple maps but no real advanced orienteering training.
