Sprint-O
Event Director: Sandy Fillebrown
Course Setter: Greg Ahlswede and see choices to Volunteer to help at this event 🙏
Notes: Registration opens 6PM. 2 beginner friendly sprint courses available. Both courses close 7:30.
ED/CS Notes:
Two great courses have been designed by US Team member Greg Ahlswede who is currently traveling and training in Europe in preparation for the World Championships to be held later this summer. Both courses have significant route choice legs with the second course somewhat more challenging. Don't let the short distance of the second course fool you - it is measured along the straight line but many legs have buildings in the way that you will need to go around making the actual distance traveled a good bit longer. Come see if you can keep track of where you are and where you are going amongst all the nooks and crannies of Norristown State Hospital.
Please note that there are NO restroom facilities on the property that we are allowed to use. There are several nearby gas stations/convenience stores with public restrooms; I also noticed that Elmwood Park had a few portable toilets the last time I drove by. Please plan accordingly!
