9:30am -- Register for Relay (and standard courses)
10am -- Relay start, registration for standard courses continues
approx. 10:30am -- Standard course starts
About the Relay
There will be 3 legs ( white level-0.9 km, yellow level-1.1 km, and orange/green level 1.1 km).
Maps will be printed at 1:5000. Teams can consist of either 1, 2, or 3 individuals or groups, but you must run all 3 legs. We will keep times of individual legs and the final team time. The relay will give you an opportunity to warm up and see how the map corresponds to the terrain. This is our first solo attempt and mapping and course setting, so please be patient and understanding if things aren't perfect. :) Especially the vegetation--the white forest seems to be growing more thickety (and the thicket thicker!) every day that we go to the park. I think that spring has sprung! However, no ticks or poison ivy leaves ... yet. We suggest pants and/or gaiters.
About the Standard Courses
The usual colors: white-1.4 km, yellow-2.1 km, orange-3.4 km, green-4.5 km, and red-5.4 km. The courses are a little on the short side for two reasons--hopefully you will have just run the relay, and there are lots of hills at Wallace SP. The maps will be printed at 1:7500, so be forewarned if you are used to running on 1:10,000. The green and red courses are not technically difficult, so you will be getting those maps when the timer starts. The others will pick up their maps at the registration table.
We hope that the park dries out before next weekend :), and we look forward to seeing many of you there.
Angie, Matt, and Joe Barrett
