October 8 at Brady's Run Park. Jen Livingston has designed some challenging courses and a special relay for experienced orienteers. The beginner course is 1.8 km; novice is 3.0 km; and intermediate is 4.0 km. These may seem short; but Brady's Run has some very steep terrain. For the advanced orienteer, there is a three-leg, one-person relay. A person may choose to do only the first leg, the first two legs, or all three legs of the relay - complete instructions will be provided at the event. The length of the relay courses are 2.6 km, 2.1 km and 2.3 km. All courses will use electronic punching.
We will be at a shelter near the middle of the park; pay attention to the driving directions below (or look online at www.wpoc.org ) there is a bridge under construction. Registration and start are from 11 am to 2 pm; map fee is $5 as usual for members and $6 for non-members.
Don't forget, if you are bringing a minor who is not your son or daughter, you need to bring a waiver signed by the minor's parent (obtainable under Club Documents at www.wpoc.org ).
