Join us Saturday, October 22nd at Mistletoe State Park for classic orienteering courses. Starts will be allowed until 2:00 pm because we won't be picking up controls after Saturday's event. (Many of the controls will be used in a private NJROTC event on Sunday. Cadets who will be competing in Sunday's NJROTC event are not allowed to participate in Saturday's event.)

Notes

  1. Water will NOT be provided on any course. A camelbak water carrying device is highly recommended, particularly given the warm temperatures. Participants must bring their own compasses, whistle, and water. Additionally, please be respectful of meet and scoring officials by maintaining appropriate social distancing. DO NOT congregate around the scoring tent after you have downloaded.
  2. Pre-paid pre-registration is required. (Registration will open for our volunteer meet directors at 7:00pm on Monday, October 22nd, and will open for other volunteer coupon holders at 8:00pm on Monday, October 22nd. Registration will open to everyone at 9:00pm on Monday, October 22nd.) No paper forms or payments will be accepted on-site.
  3. Participants will be started promptly at the start time they select when pre-registering. 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.
  4. Runners will have the option to run one or two courses using the same e-stick. If you want to run two courses, you must pre-register for both courses. On the pre-registration form, you will select your start time for your first course. At the event, when you are ready to start you second course, come back to the start to be assigned a start time.

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.
