Deadline Reminder: To save significant $, register before Jan. 12 for the California Orienteering Festival 2020 (Cal-O-Fest), taking place 21st July- 2nd August 2020. The first 3 days of this international orienteering event will be in the SF Bay Area, followed by 7 days in the Lake Tahoe Northstar area, including the 4-day North American Orienteering Championships, 2 more alpine events, and finally the World Rogaining Championships. This is a premier US event you can expect plenty of QOC friends to attend!

Quantico Orienteering Club’s first event of 2020 was held in the Turkey Run Ridge Area of Prince William Forest. It was a sunny, cool and breezy day. 203 competitors and groups started courses that were designed by Karla Hulett and Gary Smith. There were many volunteers that made the event a success. First, Matthew Knight stepped up as a co-meet director for the first time. He was tremendously helpful and recruited a hard-working group of volunteers. Daniel Heimgartner, Laura Linville, Lynn Haberlein and Jane Legget processed everyone through the registration line along with helping set-up and tear-down the equipment. Bill Wright made sure everyone got on their courses with the right spacing at the start. Monica Kornhauser and Dennis Dohery provided beginner instruction. Bill Vienna, Aaron Linville and Tim McCormick all put on the orange vests and helped beginner runners cross the road and directed drivers into the campground parking area. Thanks to Valarie Meyer and Amy Louden for the timing and results support. Finally, we can’t wrap up an event until all the controls are out of the woods. John Organek, Gary Quam, Ginny Quam, Hideharu Tanaka, Blair Bingham and Tim McCormick picked up controls. This was a perfect example of why QOC puts on high quality events. Volunteers make the club work! Thanks to all of them for creating a fun and successful start to 2020.
