Join GAOC Sunday, April 19^th at Chattahoochee Bend State Park. We are going back to the boat ramp, but this time all courses will run NE up the river and back - no course will go south of the power line! This means almost no climb and lots of interesting/confusing things to look at.

Beginner instruction is available at 9:30am; you must pre-register for the Beginner Instruction class.

Notes

1. Pre-paid pre-registration is required. (Registration will open for our volunteer meet directors at 7:00pm on Monday, April 13^th, and will open for other volunteer coupon holders at 8:00pm. Registration will open to everyone at 9:00pm.) No paper forms or payments will be accepted on-site.
2. Participants will be started promptly at the start time they select when pre-registering. Please come to the start no earlier than 3 minutes before your start time, but be sure to be at the start on time.
3. Runners 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, select the "I want to run 2 courses option". After selecting your courses, 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.
4. Water will NOT be provided on any course. A camelbak or similar hydration pack is highly recommended. Participants must bring their own compass, whistle, and water.
5. Please be respectful of meet and scoring officials by maintaining appropriate social distancing. DO NOT congregate around the scoring tent after you have downloaded.
