Join GAOC Sunday, December 6^th at Hard Labor Creek State Park. The start will be near the visitor's center.

The woods are very open this time of year allowing for high visibility and running speed. Almost every course has a higher than normal control count meaning little to no long legs. The marshes and streams are a little wet but not full yet. The red, green, and brown courses will all be going through a portion of the map on the western side that is not used very often so there's a chance to see a part of the park that you may not have seen before.

To maintain the health and safety of all participants and volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic, GAOC is implementing special rules for event participants. Please review and follow the GAOC Pandemic Rules. Pre-paid preregistration is required. (Registration will open for our volunteer meet directors at 7:00pm on Monday, November 23^rd, and will open for other volunteer coupon holders at 8:00pm on Monday, November 23^rd. Registration will open to everyone at 8:00pm on Tuesday, November 24^th.) No paper forms or payments will be accepted on-site.
