Please join GAOC's first local meet of the year. It is right in town, at the beautiful CRNRA along the river.
We will be reaching back to the roots of Orienteering by offering Hand Punching and a Contour Only course. We will also have our standard White, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Green and Red courses. We always expect perfect weather, but we will be there rain or shine.
All levels are designed by ability and length to be finished in about an hour.
This is a small area, so please follow the parking instructions and you will need a parking pass. Buses should arrive early to ease parking.
This is a "no facilities" park, so plan accordingly. There may be a portable potty!
Come test yourself in the way it used to be... before electricity or map detail!
GAOC offers beginner instruction at 10am at all local meets. Runners then may start their course any time between 11am and 1pm with a 3-hour time limit for all courses. All runners must be off the course by 3pm.
