Course Setter's Notes:

There is a 500 meter walk to the start from the shelter.  It will be marked. 

There is a trail running event that will be using the west side of the park at the same time as our orienteering event. The trails they are using will be clearly marked on the map. Orienteering courses are designed so they will not interfere with the trail runners, but if you find yourself near to or crossing over those trails, please yield to runners.

Swamps are very wet, due to our wet springtime weather. Visibility in the woods is good, and runnability is also very good since the swallowwort hasn't grown up yet this spring. Terrain is steep in some places, but there are often gentler ascents nearby.

String-O will be available to show off your speed!

Instruction is available at all events, just ask at the registration table.  Feel free to bring friends and family.

Pre-packaged snacks, fruit and jugs of water/Gatorade will be available.

Don't forget to sign up to volunteer and pre-register.

See you in the woods!
