Join GAOC at Fort Yargo State Park on Sunday, November 1st. We will be using picnic shelter #5 as the meet headquarters. Some of the lighter green has died back and is a little easier to run through. However, the green slash is still very thick and you may want to avoid it.

Notes:

  1. Participants may only participate in ONE course.
  2. In accordance with GAOC Covid Guidelines, there will be no equipment rental of any kind for the event. Water will NOT be provided on any course. Participants must bring their own compass, e-stick, whistle, and water. A few e-sticks are available for purchase on our merchandise page.
  3. Participants will be started promptly at their selected start time. So that we comply with limits on the number of people at the park at the same time, please arrive at the parking area no earlier than 20 minutes before your start time, and leave the parking area within 15 minutes of finishing your course. To facilitate social distancing, please come to the start no earlier than 3 minutes before your start time, but be sure to be at the start on time.
