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.)
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.
