Join GAOC at Dauset Trails on Saturday, April 29^th for Classic Distance courses.

The start and finish will be inside the fenced area of the park, at Picnic shelter #1, where no pets are allowed. All of the courses except the White course will have some legs in the horse trails area, where pets are not allowed. If you are on a trail and meet or need to pass a horse and rider, slow down and get off the trail. Talk calmly when approaching and make sure not to make abrupt movements to avoid startling the animal. Give the horse and rider as wide a berth as possible, on the downhill side. Horses are more likely to run uphill when spooked, and you definitely don't want to be in the path of a spooked horse.

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, April 24^th, and will open for other volunteer coupon holders at 8:00pm on Monday, April 24^th. Registration will open to everyone at 9:00pm on Monday, April 24^th.) 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. You must start your second course before noon.

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.
