Celebrate National Orienteering Week with EMPO at Tawasentha Park in
Guilderland, NY! Everybody gets a prize. (1 prize per map purchased) The main event will be a score-o course with a mass start promptly at 12:00 PM (noon). Registration will start at 11:00 AM. Please allow time to park and register. After the 12:00 PM start, you will see the map for the first time, and will have a 75 minute time limit to
plan
your strategy and find as many control points as possible in the park.
Some controls will be on trails and nearby, while others are
farther away and/or in the woods and thus worth more
points towards your final score. When everyone returns, final scores
will be tallied and raffle tickets will be handed out -- everybody gets
one ticket, but the more points you earn on the course, the more
tickets you can get, increasing your chances for a top prize! Top
prize is a pair of Icebug orienteering shoes. Also available is an Orienteering USA short-sleeved technical shirt. Other great prizes
include a year's membership in Orienteering USA, free entries to EMPO
orienteering events, copies of our magazine Orienteering North America,
and more! |
