Ready for some fine orienteering? Meadowood's ready for you, and a full set of 7 courses, from beginner to advanced, will be offered. The map has been updated since there are several new trails since the last time QOC visited this area.
New to orienteering? We will hold beginner clinics continuously as needed during both events; just tell the friendly folks at registration if you'd like to be in one and they'll take care of you. Also, make sure to check out our Your First Event [2] and For Beginners [3] webpages, and if they don't answer any question you have, just use our Contact Us [4] form and ask away!
Group Leaders: please see our For Group Leaders [5] webpage and then contact this event's Director (Dan Do [6]) so we can get your group registered in advance.
For this event, please note the following:
