Advanced Event in Birkhead Wilderness on Apr 19, 2015

This event is for advanced orienteers (BOK members who have completed a brown, green, or red course). The event is in Birkhead Wilderness Area, Uwharrie National Forest, Asheboro NC. We’ll start from the Thornburg Farm entrance. Directions are here.

Don’t forget, you must pre-register. There will be Brown, Green and Red courses available.

For those who hasn’t tried Birkhead yet, the forest there is very pretty, open and runnable with a lot of rock formations.

Ticks might be out there – take precaution just in case.

The courses will be opened at noon and everybody must start by 1.30 PM and finish by 3 PM.
Help with controls pick up will be greatly appreciated!
