Dix Sprints on July 9

Imre Polik

On July 9, we will be holding a Sprint orienteering event at Dix Park in Raleigh. 

The start and finish will be near the gazebo on Umstead Drive (35.771244, -78.661292) 125m west of Hunt Dr.

Please be aware there are controls around the cemetery, which is out of bounds. The cemetery has black bars on the map and has physical white posts on its border. Please be respectful of the cemetery. Do not run inside the white posts; even to cut corners. 

There will be 2 sprint courses  A(2.7km) and B(1.8km). You will be able to run any or both of them in any order. 

It’s expected to be a typical hot and humid summer Sunday. The courses will be open earlier than usual: from 9:30AM and everybody must finish by 12:00PM.

The registration for this event has closed. There won’t be on-site registration.

You must pre register for this event here before Friday July 7 at 9 PM. I will be printing maps on Saturday morning.

    Thanks,
