This event is for advanced orienteers (BOK members who have completed a brown, green, or red course). Don’t forget, you must pre-register. There will be Brown, Green and Red courses available. The courses will be a bit shorter than usual, due to expected heat and humidity: 3.5KM, 4.8KM, 5.5KM respectively, but with a fair amount of controls. Green and Red will also enjoy one 825 meters leg in the middle of the course. Thick vegetation, spiders and ticks (take precaution) are highly probable on all courses.

The courses will be opened at 10 AM and everybody must start by 11.30 AM and finish by 1 PM.
Help with controls pick up will be greatly appreciated!

Parking outside of the gate (as usual). No dogs are allowed (even on a leash).

    Vladamir,
    I have done orange courses before, just have not had the chance to get out to your events like I would like. I would really like to participate in this event. If anything just for practice. I would need to borrow/rent a finger stick.
    Do you have any for sale?

    Looking forward to this event

    Thanks

    Mike
