Score-O Training
Event Director: Joey McGarvey
Course Setter: Ian Whitehead
Notes: Join us for the second winter series of Mailbox Madness, an urban sprint orienteering training series in Philadelphia. Events follow a Score-O format, with mailboxes instead of control flags. Tag as many mailboxes as you can in 60 minutes—pace and route choice are up to you. Scoring is unofficial, on the honor system. Note that urban running involves risk. Please cross streets safely and carefully. There will be a mass start; arrive fifteen minutes early to collect your map and plan your route. More Info on Mailbox Madness
