What's better than a day at Red Top? TWO days at Red Top!
We begin Saturday with a full menu of courses at the Iron Hill overflow parking area. If you've never enjoyed the mental and physical challenge of Orienteering, now is your chance to learn with a White course, or practice and develop your navigational skills with Yellow or Orange. And if you're ready to challenge yourself with a more advanced course we'll have Silver, Brown, Green and Red.
Beginner instruction volunteer would be appreciated.
| Course | Description | Distance | Controls | Climb |

| Orange | Intermediate | 3.9 km | 11 | 125 m |
| Silver | Very Short advanced | 2.9 km | 10 | 110 m |

Event volunteers are always needed and appreciated. Each volunteer is awarded a coupon that may be used for free (and early) event registration or items from our merchandise page.
If you are interested in helping out at the start or control pickup, please select your volunteer position(s) on the registration page.
Runners must select their start time when pre-registering, and 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.
From Atlanta, go north on I-75 and take exit 285. Turn right onto Red Top Mtn Rd and follow into Park. Once in the park, follow the orange and white "Orienteer" signs to the start location.
