[roc-info] orienteering courses this Sunday

[Rick and Dayle Lavine]

The next ROC event will take place this Sunday, October 5, with starts at Cavalry Lodge from noon until 2:00 pm.  We will be offering five different courses so there are options for beginners to advanced runners.  The courses have been vetted, thanks to Dick Detwiler.  The white course (2.4 km, 7 controls) primarily follows trails with some route choices. The yellow course (3.6 km, 10 controls) offers some interesting route options off the trails if desired.  The orange (4.4 km, 11 controls), green (4.9 km, 14 controls), and red (6.3 km, 18 controls) courses should be both mentally and physically challenging for the intermediate and more advanced runners.  These advanced courses might require some serious elevation gains, depending on your route choices.  Also the terrain features will make many of the legs interesting or downright grueling depending on how well you read those contours.  The vegetation can get thick in some sections, especially for the red course.  Also some controls are close to park boundaries, so please respect the rights of neighboring properties.  All maps will be printed using a 1:10,000 scale.
