Course Setter's Notes:
The woods at Lewis Morris Park are quite open now, and I had a great time planning the courses and checking out the control sites. There are patches of green, but I’ve kept the logical route choices away from those. The more advanced courses will stray just a bit into Jockey Hollow, where the barberry is more plentiful. Unfortunately, the mapping of the green needs a serious updating, so you’ll have to be watchful for the patches of stickers. None of the obvious route choices will take you through bad areas; there will always be a way through or slightly around it.
Another aspect of Lewis Morris is the ever-changing state of the mountain biking trails. I have updated some of the more obvious changes, both in location and appearance. If there is a trail on the map, then there is something noticeable on the ground. Some trails might be more intermittent, however, than how they are mapped. And, because of the aforementioned mountain bikers, if you opt to run on a trail, please be aware of the bikers and share the trail.Event Director's Notes
Registration, finish, download and refreshments will all be at the Sunrise Lake picnic area, situated in the northwest part of Lewis Morris Park. It is a 150 meter walk from the south end of the parking lot. The start will be a flat, 180 meter walk from registration. Warm, stocked, modern bathrooms are located in the beach pavilion building, which is 280 meters from registration, and 100 meters from the start.
Registration cards are color-coded by course. To minimize queuing, please fill out your cards before approaching the registration table. Please complete the shaded areas of the top and middle sections of the card. In order to be included in Dual Event scoring, be sure to enter "HVO" or "DVOA" as your club in both sections.
Hoping, again, to avoid long lines, we have worked out a process which eliminates the need to visit the e-punch computer before starting. For this to work, please write your e-card number -- or "rental" if you need to rent one -- in the punch grid of the middle section of your registration card. Then, add your year-of-birth if you are participating as an individual, or the number of people in your group. If you are renting an e-card, please also print your name on the bottom section; rental e-cards will be provided at registration.Check the HVO information page for more information.
