ED/CS Notes:
It is difficult to provide a full set of normal courses in this park because of the heavy vegetation encountered when straying too far off trail. So we have decided to offer a Score-O format to give all levels of orienteers a chance to see some of the best areas of the park.
A normal White Course will be available for beginners. This course will have 12 controls with a course length of 2.6 km, and 30 meters of climb.
The Score-O Course will have 26 controls spread out across the park. Each control will have a specific point value and you will have 90 minutes to get as many points as possible. There will be penalties for going over 90 minutes, so be sure to bring a watch. You can start at any time during our normal start window of 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Advanced Beginner and Intermediate level orienteers will have plenty of choices for visiting control locations that are of normal Yellow or Orange difficulty.
Advanced level orienteers will be able to visit some very nice forest and stream terrain where there are a few more advanced control locations and they will have the challenge of picking a good route choice to maximize their points. There is minimal elevation change, so you will probably be able to cover a little more distance than you would on your normal course. It is expected that some of our faster runners may be able to get to all controls.
Nockamixon State Park is a multi-use park with lots of opportunities for enjoying other activities after you run your course. Disc Golf, Boat Rentals, Biking Paths, Swimming and Picnicking are all available. You can get more details on the park website.
As always, we could use some helpers to make everything go smoothly during the event. Please use the volunteer sign-up link to indicate if you are able to spend part of the day helping out.
