Course Setter Notes

McIntosh Reserve is a 527-acre park that is adjacent to the Chattahoochee river and is the former plantation of Chief William McIntosh. The woods are relatively open and runnable although it can be thick in a few areas so watching the map is a good idea. Most courses will have some open fields to cross during the race for a change of terrain. The park has less elevation changes than Don Carter State Park, but the 2.5 meter contours do show a variety of reentrants throughout the park. Some complex gully and stream systems will make some legs and controls interesting. Picnic tables in the area of the race are mostly unmapped. There is a maintenance shed area surrounded by barbed wire in the middle of map that is out of bounds.
