Plenty of volunteers for control pick-up would be great so we can get it done before it's too dark.

To be Guaranteed a Map, registration must be completed by noon on event day. If registration occurs after noon you may not be guaranteed a map. If you are unable to attend on the day of the event, you may wish to download the MapRun app and use it to run anytime up to a year afterwards, but registration must still be completed.

Safety:

• Check back in MUST MUST MUST occur at 7:30pm. If you don't, by 7:30pm we will assume you are lost or injured and will have to initiate a lost orienteer search, including calling your emergency contacts. Remember to check in if you leave early. Remember to abandon your course if needed and check in before 7:30pm. Call the number on the map if you forget.
• The map uses sprint orienteering map symbols and rules - unlike on forest orienteering maps, you aren't allowed to cross or enter some areas which include olive-green areas, the blue river if bounded by a black line, purple cross-hatched areas, thick purple lines and thick black lines. Your map will show the following reminder:
