Full slate of Red through White courses will be offered, including the special Silver (short Brown) course.
While the official climb count is about typical for much of our terrain, Gold Branch always feels worse.
Standard GAOC meet times: Registration opens at 10am (please pre-register online). Starts from 11am to 1pm. Courses close at 3pm.
The parking lot at Gold Branch is relatively small and the park is popular with non-orienteerers as well. Please car pool as much as possible and be understanding if you have to park down the road a ways. Note there is a $5 parking fee if you don’t have a CRNRA annual pass.
