It was a chilly but beautiful night for the Night-O at Prince William Forest in the Turkey Run Ridge area. We had 115 starts with 163 people out on the course, and a Boy Scout trip joined us as well! Everyone was situated with their lights, whistles, and excitement as they completed the wonderfully designed courses by Bill Wright and Matt Smith, who designed 6 courses that fit everyone's orienteering abilities (they event threw in a special very short advanced course!).

A huge thank you to Amy Louden, Valerie Meyer, and Sandy Fillebrown, our ePunch gurus, for being the first ones on-site, setting everything IT-related up, and getting the results on the website. Lucy Brown also helped the E-Punch Gurus with sorting and cleaning the e-punches after runners returned. Runners were first greeted by Keg Good, who helped get everyone parked in the dark. Aaron Linville, Parker Nevenglosky, Sharmagh Yepremian, and Lucy Brown were experts at check-in, getting every racer set up with a map, clue sheet, and compass. Kathleen and Greg Lennon designed amazing Day-O/Night-O swag for all participants and handed them out before runners took to their course. Matt Smith set up all 23 controls for this event and Howie Weinstein, Charles Carrick, and Parker Nevenglosky picked up the controls on Sunday (before and after they ran the NRE!) and John Baker for being on-call in case we needed an extra hand. At the end of the event, Howie Weinstein, Lydia Andrews, Parker Nevenglosky, Sharmagh Yepremian, and Matt Smith all helped clean up the event. Behind the scenes, Valerie and Roger Meyer printed and sealed all the maps, Greg Lennon ran registration and kept the website up-to-date for this event, Kathleen Lennon uploaded all the great pictures and advertised the event, and Sid Sachs updated the points system for the club. Parker Nevenglosky also helped with ensuring those that wanted to camp overnight were able to and worked with the scout troop on getting them set up for camping. Thank you to Matt Smith for guidance on this event and for being there from the very very beginning to the very very end, and to Dennis Doherty for securing permits for the park. Thank you also to Craig Shelden for ensuring we had the maps sorted and sent to Valerie on time and for getting the permits sorted with PWF!

I was so lucky to work with all the amazing volunteers above who made this event a success! See you all out in the woods next time!
