QOC invites you to the historic Stuart's Hill section of Manassas National Battlefield Park for what seems to be shaping up as a fine day to be outdoors! Course details (White through Red) are now provided below; Stuart's Hill terrain is more open than many, with large fields rare for our venues but also woods of all degrees of runnability.
Pre-registration Now Available: Save yourself (and us) time by using our convenient Pop-Up Pre-registration Form to pre-register if you can. Note that payment is required for all pre-registrations. For this event, day-of registration will also be available.
Youth groups or other large groups planning to attend this event: Please contact our Epunch Guru directly 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.
Nearby Attraction: The park's Henry Hill Visitor Center, located at 6511 Sudley Road, Manassas, VA, will be open from 8:30am - 5pm, and your park fee (for orienteering) covers admission. This museum has both static and dynamic displays, plus a 45 minute movie ('Manassas: End of Innocence') focusing on the Civil War battles that took place here, including over the terrain covered by our orienteering courses.
Directions: Take I-66 to Exit 47 in Manassas. Go South on Sudley Road (route 234). After a short distance, turn right onto Balls Ford Road (route 621). Proceed ~2 miles, then turn right onto Groveton Road (route 622). Go North ~1 mile to the picnic area entrance on the left. Google map link is below (in Location Details).
