With rolling fields, and glades of open forest, today’s courses will take runners on a grand tour of arboreal splendor. From a practical point of view, there is little to note. A smidgeon of out-of-bounds may be encountered on the White, Red, and Blue courses. These small areas are easily negotiated on the trails or open areas that run alongside, and are indicated with a purple overprint on the competitors’ maps. The White, Yellow, Orange, and Blue courses will go through a Frisbee golf area; please be considerate in this multiuse park. There is a mandatory bridge crossing on Blue and Red courses; the same bridge will be crossed twice on each of these courses. Please be careful to take the controls in the right order, and check the control codes after the crossing. Good luck and have fun!Hot Refreshments: an encore performance by no one other than Ann MacMullan!The Dashing Deer Drawing: Anybody who joins DVOA or renews their membership at the event will be entered into The Dashing Deer Drawing.
