Course Notes
We will be set up at the Lock 7 lower parking lot, here: 42.802577544224675, -73.84751254682861
Start between 11 am and 1 pm; Finish by 2:30 pm.
There will be no mass start. You will have 90 minutes to find as many flags as you want and return. You can take as long to plan before you start as you desire.
Controls will be a mix of easy, medium, and harder, and there will be options suitable for all skill levels. In Lock 7/Mohawk River Park you are never too far from a trail. Off trail can be thick (dense greenery) or slick (muddy hillsides), but I have planned the course to be as friendly as I can to avoid the worst vegetation.
Controls will be worth different point values, with harder/farther controls generally worth more points. Controls are worth between 2 and 9 points each, with points equal to the 1’s digit of the number (82, 92, and 102 = 2 points; 89, 99, and 109 = 9 points). The total number of points available is 111.
There is a porta potty available at the lock.
