ED/CS Notes:
Welcome to Mt. Penn. We will be using the Antietam Lake Park map but starting from Rotary Park which is located off of List Road, close to the center of the map. This is the same terrain used for the A-meet last November, so some areas may look familiar but hopefully you’ll see some new areas too.
A few things will be different than last Fall’s event:
• Leaves are out on the vegetation, so visibility will be reduced in those areas mapped with any shade of green.
• There is a network of mountain bike trails in the park and depending on their usage may be more or less prominent than depicted by the map. Where trails affecting route choice have become less distinct (due to non-use or vegetation overgrowth) I have changed them to indistinct on the map. I did not re-map trails which have become more distinct nor have I added any new trails. Blue and Red runners in particular should be aware that there are new or more prominent trails in the western part of the area which are not shown on the map.
But there a few things that haven’t changed:
• All the rocks are still out there, as are the hills.
• There are several areas marked as Out of Bounds. These are mostly private residences, so please give them a wide berth if your routes take you near them. Boundaries of the OOB areas are not marked in the terrain.
And a word of caution:
All courses cross active roads, although none are particularly busy. Please cross carefully since drivers may not be expecting a runner to pop out of the woods.
