Hahaha, pretty much everybody. I had to leave before everybody in my class was in. A fairly new orienteer in F50 went head to head with me. F70, my class, had quite a few runners.

Since participation in the Montgomery County Senior Games is open to residents of Montgomery County as well as non-residents as specified on "http://www.montcoseniorgames.com/", perhaps the turnout would have been greater if the event were publicized on the DVOA event schedule, "http://www.dvoa.org/events/sked/index.php", with a link to "http://www.montcoseniorgames.com/croquet.html" (that's really the link, the link for croquet is "http://www.montcoseniorgames.com/croquet1.html").

So true. Next year perhaps it will be on the schedule. I also tried for local press, without luck. But the feedback so far has been great. Pictures here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kathyu/sets/72157668010533581
