It was a great day of orienteering for QOC at Prince William Forest Park, Turkey Run Ridge! With damp but warm conditions, we saw fog in the morning, and drizzle that turned to rain later in the day, with a high of 55 F. Despite an aggressive forecast we had a total of 90 starts with groups and individuals during the day, including out of area participants from WPOC and DVOA, and groups from Loudoun County HS NJROTC, and Scout Troops 1347 and 1865. Patrick Farley designed an amazing set of 8 courses that runners and walkers enjoyed throughout the day. Assisting Patrick in hanging the full set of controls were Aaron Linville, Laura Linville, Matt Knight, and Bill Wright.
Many thanks go to our amazing event volunteers, who made everything go smoothly. Scott Sharp directed parking; Harry Jones, Susan Shoemaker, and Laura Linville checked everyone in; Matt Knight, Greg Lennon, and Vido Aleksiev provided beginner and refresher instruction; Amy Louden and Valerie Meyer at e-punch kept everyone moving to starts and after their courses; and Ed Joseph supported clean-up of the classroom. Greg Lennon maintained our website and registration and managed our QOC club jersey pop-up store. Following their courses, Jon Organek, Charles Carrick, Jana Seidlova, Rob Field, and Steve Pepe (after 3 courses!) all went back out to pick up controls, in the rain. Many thanks to Charles Carrick for his work with PWFP staff on access, logistics, and working with the entire team to ensure a successful night/day orienteering weekend.
Thank you all so much, and thanks to all the club members and guests who make orienteering a great experience.
