Arctic Orienteering Club -- May 26, 2004 meet details
---------- Bill's Orienteering -----------
Bill's-O will be held Wednesday, May 26 on the Kincaid Park
map. The registration/start/finish area will be near the Chalet.
EVENTS:
There will be three events: a STRING-O for the young-'uns, a standard WHITE COURSE
for newcomers, independant youth and families, and a 2-PERSON RELAY SCORE-O. (We may also offer an individual
one hour score "O" for those who don't want to do the relay, but I am
trying to discourage it: relays are more fun, but some may not have the
time.)
Relay will be 2-person teams with each member doing 4 legs. The length
of the legs will vary with each person running legs of 10, 15, 20 and
10 minutes. Total time for each will be 55 minutes, total time for
both, 1:50 minutes. Bring a watch!
As most of the map is a vegetation disaster, most of the controls will
be white to easy orange in difficulty, generally close to the trails
(Isn't everything close to the trails in Kincaid).
START TIMES:
If you are doing the string-O or the White course, start anytime
between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m.
The relay and score "O" will have a mass
start at 6:00
pm.
SIGN IN AND SIGN OUT
All participants must sign in, pay
the
daily or season pass fee and have signed the liability waiver for this
season.
Be sure to write legibly so we can get your name correct in
the
results. Use your real first and last name or the newspaper won’t
include
you in the results. DO NOT LEVE
WITHOUT SIGNING OUT either by turning in your control card to a
race official, or by checking
yourself
off on the registration list.
TERRAIN:
Kincaid is hilly, with many wide dirt ski trails. Vegetation ranges
from some open forest to more open forest interspersed with deadfall,
underbrush, tangled thickets and devil's club.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
Get on Rasberry Rd
from Minnisota, Jewel Lake or Sand Lake roads and stay on it, well into
Kinkaid Park, until you reach the Chalet and two large parking areas at
the end of the road.
