Dauset Trails Nature Center
Sunday, November 15, 2026

Join GAOC Sunday, November 15^th, at Dauset Trails Nature Center. The first start will be at 11:15 am because a JROTC event will be held earlier in the morning.

Contactless mode for SIAC cards will be turned off, so all controls must be punched. (If you don't know what this means, it does not matter to you.)

Notes

Beginner instruction will not be available at the event.
Water will NOT be provided on any course. A CamelBak or similar hydration pack is highly recommended. Participants must bring their own compass, whistle, water, and flashlight/headlamp.
Pre-paid pre-registration is required. (Registration will open for our volunteer event directors at 7:00pm on Monday, November 9^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.
Participants will be started promptly at the start time they select when pre-registering. Please come to the start no earlier than 5 minutes before your start time, but be sure to be at the start on time.
