Umstead Park North Picnic Area
November 6, 2011
The Backwoods Orienteering Klub is pleased to host the 2011 Bubba Goat. Everyone is welcome at this event. For beginners we will have a regular white and yellow course as well as a class to help beginners get started.
The main events are the Bubba Goat and Pygmy Goat courses.
Format for the Goat courses:
- There will be a mass start, so you need to be ready and checked in on time.
- The course is supposed to be fast and long, so the difficulty will be at the Orange level and it will be divided into two lengths the Bubba Goat – 12K and a shorter subset of controls, the Pygmy Goat – 6K.
- Competitors must take the controls in order, but may skip any one control.
- Following is permitted.
- It does matter what you wear. Points awarded for best Bubba, Goat, or Bubba Goat attire.
There will be a prize for the Bubba Goat winner (a cake which is usually shared with everyone). There will also be commemorative shirts for Goat class participants, and a contest for the best “Goat” costume.
Advance registration is required for the “Goat”
We encourage Goat courses, to register using the entry form below. You may send a check in if you prefer not to pay on line (see the instructions below). If you are competing on one of the Goat courses your registration must be completed by October 24, 2011 and checks must be received by October 28, 2011 to be sure you will receive a shirt. Last day for Goat course registration is Thursday Nov. 3, 2011 and must be fully paid at that time. There is no late fee, but you probably won’t get a shirt if you pay after October 28th.

White and Yellow course competitors do not pre-register. Just show up the day of the event and register at the event. There is no t-shirt for White and Yellow course competitors. If you are bringing a group of 5 or more entries, then use our club group pre-registration procedures.
