ED/CS Notes:
Rutgers Ecological Preserve has an extensive trail network to challenge beginners and create some interesting route choices for those on the intermediate/advanced courses. The map also has the full spectrum of vegetation from large sections of impenetrable briar to pockets of beautiful wide-open woods and everything else in between. Though some map updates were made particularly in the immediate areas around controls the vegetation has generally gotten thicker since mapped. With winter nearly upon us the woods have opened up some but medium green, dark green, and green slash are still often impassible, so it is generally best to take trails around these areas. To take advantage of the best this map has to offer intermediate/advanced runners can expect a mix of short legs in the pockets of white woods and long route choice legs mainly on trails in between. Green and Red courses in particular loop over themselves multiple times so make sure you are paying attention and don't hit the controls out of order!
Control Pick up will begin at 2:30 pm.
