Join us this Wednesday for a fast and fun meet at Earthquake Park. This venue is an orienteering playground with all the features you could want (hills, spurs, ponds, saddles, depressions, reentrants) but at much smaller scale than our other maps. The bug pressure is low and the weather forecast is good!
The main event is a mass start at 6pm with the option of either a short or long course. Bring your electronic punch and show up at 5:30pm to register.
There will also be a 1.5km White Course with 12 controls that has one loop and is suitable for beginners. White course can start anytime 5pm – 6:30pm.

Example of Loops on a Course 2.3km Short Course with 13 controls that has three loops ABC. Everyone will visit every loop but maybe in a different order. Some people will get a map with ABC loops, others with BCA loops, etc. There are six variations of this map that will be spread out randomly among the participants. Participants will all start at the same time and head straight to the first control and then split off into loops. Be sure to punch the clear control sometime before the start time. The maps are clearly labeled control 1, 2, … all the way through 13 and then back to the finish control. One control is visited multiple times between loops.
- 3.6km Long Course with 22 controls that has three loops ABC plus two more loops DE. Everyone will visit every loop but maybe in a different order. Some people will get a map with ABDEC loops, others with ABEDC loops, etc. There are twelve variations of this map that will be spread out randomly among the participants. Participants will all start at the same time and head straight to the first control and then split off into loops. Be sure to punch the clear control sometime before the start time. The maps are clearly labeled control 1, 2, … all the way through 22 and then back to the finish control. Two controls are visited multiple times between loops.
