Open event at Umstead South, Sun Jan 22, 2017

We will have an Open event on Sunday, January 22, 2017. This event is open to the public; everyone is welcome. There will be a class for beginners at 12:30pm, and there will be courses for everyone from first-time beginners through a set of Advanced courses. The event will be held at Umstead South (take I-40 to the Harrison Rd exit, park in the large parking lot, and follow the signs downhill to the large shelter).

Courses will open as soon as we can get final controls out into the woods; expect first starts to be possible somewhere around 10:00am. No new starts will occur after 2:00pm, and courses will close and controls will be picked up starting at 3:00pm.
