Kincaid Results

For the first time in recent memory, the Arctic Orienteering Club hosted a traditional meet at Kincaid Park on Wednesday evening. This was made possible by a new map with much-improved vegetation mapping, and an early-season date that meant most seasonal vegetation was at a minimum. 

Clearly, this opportunity for a traditional meet in one of Anchorage’s most popular parks was a hit, as nearly 150 people turned out to try one of the five courses in cool and windy conditions. Many moose were seen, new parts of the park were visited, and fun was had by most, if not all. Venturing off-trail in Kincaid Park can be daunting because of the nasty vegetation, so short course legs were utilized in an attempt to guide orienteering into the “good” off-trail areas and away from the bad. In looking at post-race route choices on LiveLox, this strategy was mildly successful.

 

On the longest Red course (5.1 km, 23 controls), Scott Patterson won a close men’s race, with Springer Moore and Ian Moore within a few minutes to round out the podium. Lindsey Flagstad was the women’s Red winner, followed by Jen Jolliff.

 

On the most-popular Green course (4.0 km, 15 controls), Todd Shearer won an in-family battle with Rowan Shearer for the victory. Tamra Kornfield edged Jamie Shearer in the women’s Green division.

 

Teams dominated the Orange course (3.8 km, 15 controls), with Team Eli Sam in first, Team Clark in second, and Team Corin and Andrew in third.

 

The meet director was Cory Smith, assistant meet director Hannah Brewster. Thanks to Ian Moore for the map updates, Linda Smith for helping at the meet table, and Lindsey Flagstad for picking up controls.

 

If you enjoy orienteering in Kincaid Park, consider providing input on the Kincaid Park master plan, which is now being updated. There is an open house at the Kincaid Chalet, tonight, May 28th from 5:30-7:30pm.

Kincaid, May 27

The moose and the vegetation are just starting to pop at Kincaid Park, but we are optimistic that we will squeeze in this traditional meet before it becomes too daunting to venture off-trail. The start/finish area will be near the chalet parking lot, specifically the small parking area south of the Wax Bunker. See map … Read more
