F D Roosevelt State Park
Sunday, October 8, 2023

Join GAOC at F D Roosevelt State Park on Sunday, October 8. Start and finish will be near the Liberty Bell Pool.

The bridge between I-185 and Pine Mountain on US27 is being replaced. This is the exit most of us take when going south. The best alternative is to go one more exit and take GA18 into Pine Mountain - it comes out right at the corner with the gas station and KFC.

Andi Berger will be teaching a Navigation 101 Clinic beginning at 9:30am. After a brief talk, Andi will take the group out to complete the Yellow course while demonstrating and practicing orienting the map, catching features, handrails, collecting features, and attack points. The clinic is expected to take about 2 hours to complete. You must pre-register for the clinic by choosing the "Yellow with Navigation 101" option as your course on the registration form. No extra fee is charged for the clinic. If "Yellow with Navigation 101" is not listed as a course option on the registration form, the clinic is full for this event.

Notes

1. Water will NOT be provided on any course. A camelbak water carrying device is highly recommended, particularly given the warm temperatures. Participants must bring their own compasses, whistle, and water. Additionally, please be respectful of meet and scoring officials by maintaining appropriate social distancing.

4. Runners will have the option to run one or two courses using the same e-stick. If you want to run two courses, you must pre-register for both courses.
