Results will be printed right at the finish line.

It may be chilly, windy, and lightly raining so dress accordingly.

Who: Orienteers of all ages, novice to advanced.

When: Saturday April 8. Courses will be open for starts from 11am until 1pm. Courses close at 2pm. You may arrive within this window to try a course, as participants start separately a few minutes apart.
