Another set of courses (white thru red) on steep terrain, emphasizing good route choice by reading the contours and keeping your line. The map is 1:10000 scale with 5meter contours. As always, volunteers will be needed for instruction, registration. Control pickup will not be necessary as the courses will be used again on Sunday by the NJROTC Area12 Champs.
We'll be meeting at Shelter #4, the first left into the park from I75 and on the road to the Beach.
Online registration is open so please take advantage.
