The weather forecast for the day was good – in fact, so good that a whopping 326 people showed up for 273 starts. Among the runners were a substantial number of non-members and cadets from the JROTC groups Patriots, Calvert, Loudoun County, and Patuxent. Additionally, QOC co-hosted a demonstration ARDF orienteering (Amateur Radio Direction Finding radio orienteering), organized by Michael Kholodov with help from Eugene Tcipnjatov. Adventurous QOC regulars tried it out for size, and reportedly found it to be fun and challenging.

It's a pleasure to once again thank all the volunteers at the event, some of whom showed up in spite of being unable to run themselves or helped cover for fellow orienteers who couldn't make their shift for various reasons. Esben Jepsen and Rikke Jepsen helped with the setup; Aaron and Laura Linville helped with the computer display; Amy Louden ran the e-punch table all by herself. Registration was manned by John Landers, David Levine, Beatri Bennett, and Kim Jepsen; the Beginner’s Instruction shift were covered by Heidi Onkst, Ted Good and Don Fish; Control pick-up was swiftly handled by Michael Wood, Michael Dickey, Victor Lin, Hideharu Tanaka, Tom Wells, and Ted Good. Michael Wood, Don Fish, Beatri Bennett, and Heidi Onkst helped with the post-race cleanup. Finally, a search team was formed (Ted Good, Michael Wood, David Onkst, Kim Jepsen) and were out or heading out to look for a couple of missing orienteers; happily, they returned to ‘base’ in good shape before the search got going in earnest.
