Sunday
Registration will take place at the Sweetgum parking area. Since we expect the Sweetgum parking area to fill up, later arrivals will be directed to one of two overflow parking lots that are within a 400m walk of the main (Sweetgum) area; click here for an overview map you can print and bring with you. Registration will be from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Everyone must be out of the woods and back at the registration/finish area by 3:00pm, which is when we will begin picking up the controls.
New Online Registration now in place! Primarily due to Greenbelt-specific regulations, we would like as many participants as possible to register and pay ONLINE by 8am on SUNDAY using our Greenbelt Registration Pop-Up Form. Bring your confirmation email to the event; it will show if you paid online (by credit card or PayPal), or what you should bring as a check or cash to put in an envelope at the event. We will not be able to make change. SI-card owners who have paid online or at the event can head out after receiving their map (and clearing and checking their dibber). If you have problems or questions with this (new) online registration system, send us an email via the Contact Form; and if you don't register by Saturday evening, no worries - just show up with exact change at the event anyway.
Any youth or large groups attending, please contact the Meet Director so that we can coordinate pre-registration for your group; the group registration and waiver form is part of the information on our Group Leaders page.
