QOC's first February meet will be held Sunday, Feb. 12 at Greenbelt National Park, MD. A full set of seven courses will be offered, courtesy of course designer Tom Nolan.
Update: We're pleased to announce that pre-registration using our friendly Registration Form [2] is available for use, so sign up now! Registration will close Saturday at 9 11pm. Runners who'd like to try orienteering on a white, yellow (beginner) or orange (intermediate) course and who have been emailed a discount coupon should have it handy when registering online.
We will be offering day-of registration, but in an unusual way - with drive-through payment! If you have pre-registered AND PAID, just drive right in and park at the Sweetgum parking area (unless a volunteer tells you it's already full). However, if you did not pay online, you will need to go first to the Capitol Cadillac area on Capitol Drive, immediately across from the Greenbelt park entrance. Pay and register there, keeping your receipt with you to take into the park. Head to the Holly Picnic area (overflow) parking lot as directed, and then bring your receipt to the registration area. Click here [3] for the overview map.
Registration will be from 10:45am to 1:15pm. 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.
Any youth or large groups attending, please contact the Event Director [4] so that we can coordinate pre-registration for your group; the group registration and waiver form [5] is part of the information on our Group Leaders [6] page.
