ED/CS Notes:
Update: April 16 pm
Registration for the Billygoat is closed; there are no more maps available.
DVOA is hosting the 37th annual running of the Billygoat. Native to New England, but tired of snow, the frisky goat was lured to the challenging, oft-sublime terrain and the arcadian splendor of the Delaware Water Gap.
The Billygoat has the following format:- mass start
- competitors may skip any one control
- there will be one forked leg; competitors choose one of two controls to visit
- aid station at about the half-way point; can leave personal stashes of food/drink (we will walk by the aid station on the way to the start)
- official finish time cut-off: 3 hours and 30 minutes
- ~13.5km in length with ~500m of climb
- Choose either a single 1:15,000 map or two 1:10,000 maps back-to-back in a single bag (register early to guarantee a map in the size you want)
In addition to the Billygoat we will offer a shortened version, the Kid at ~8.5km. It will also feature a mass start, but no skip and no forked leg. It will be a 1:10,000 map. It will pass by the aid station fairly early in the course so plan accordingly. We will also have the Baby Goat, an ~3km beginner course with a few more challenging legs.
Pre-registration is required if you want a guaranteed map and official finisher t-shirt, Finisher t-shirts are only awarded to those who complete the Billygoat (not the Kid) in 3 hours and 30 minutes. To view who is registered for the event go to the O U.S.A. registration sitehttps://www.orienteeringusa.org/eventregister/index.php and select the Billygoat. Late fees will be charged for registrations after March 23. Registration will close on April 16.
