Come and join us on Saturday March 5.
The Joe Kurz Wildlife Management Area is a great place to orienteer. You'll find complex contours with intersecting ditches and gullies, wide open fields for fast running, a couple of soggy swamp trails, and the occasional brier patch.
We will have a course for every skill level and instructions for beginners. Instructions begin at 10am and the first runners will be out at 11am.
Please fill out the registration form before you arrive at the park.
Vinton has volunteered to run electronic scoring.
Vinton and Andrea Berger will help hang control flags.
All other volunteer positions are open.
