Last meet of the Spring Season! Last chance to orienteer until September!

Sam designed the courses so that every control can be reached by running in the fields and on the trails, with just a little dip into the woods. That might not be the fastest option, but you can avoid the Poison Ivy, ticks and chiggers, and even wear shorts!

Start times will be from 10 to noon. Register early!
