Starts 10 am to noon.
Important: the Schuyllkill Center has asked us to stay on trails for this event. You will be able to complete both courses almost entirely via trails, open fields, and clearings. Most controls are located within a few meters of a trail. Please do not take shortcuts through the woods. There is heavy summer vegetation throughout the park, so you probably won't be tempted.
Some areas of the course are fenced off and gated. You can go through the gates--just be sure to shut them behind you.
The Sprint 1 course is set up as a Memory-O. At each control, a part of the map will be displayed. You can look at that part, and then try to navigate to the next control by memory. This adds an extra challenge and helps build route planning and map reading skills. If you're participating in the Memory-O, you can go out on the course without your own map. There will also be maps available if you want one.
The courses are similar in their level of difficulty. Sprint 2 is a bit longer. For beginners, we'd recommend doing Sprint 1 without the Memory-O option.
