Night Orienteering event

7:15 pm - 8:15 pm
Registration for those who haven't registered and signing of the waiver for those who have preregistered. To preregister, send e-mail to jlwolfe@atlanticbb.net and state how many of you are coming and what your names are. Payment will be collected at the meet; the fee is $5 per person if you preregister ($6 per person at registration); each person will get a map. Preregistration is preferred so that we are sure we have enough maps.

8:30 pm
Briefing about the event with map distribution. At this time, we will want to make sure everyone is properly equipped for night orienteering. The course is a score-O with about 40 controls worth varying numbers of points. All controls will be marked with the usual orange and white nylon bag and have a rod wrapped in reflective tape directly above the bag.

9:00 pm
Mass Start for everyone. You will have 2 hours to visit as many points as you can. Lateness penalties will be rather severe. The course closes promptly at 11:00 pm; you must return by this time because we will begin taking down the course at that time. All participants must return to the start/finish by 11:15 pm.

Required equipment:
Compass (we will loan you one if necessary),
Light (with spare batteries or a second backup light),
Whistle (we will sell you one if you don't have one).

Safety Note: Blue Spruce Park has a public road through its middle. It is a narrow road with no berm and a fair amount of local traffic. It is highly recommended that if you walk on this road during the event that you wear bright clothing, have your light on, and stay as far to the side as you can.
