Join GAOC on Sunday, September 17, for classic courses at McIntosh Reserve. First start will be at 11:30am.

Hillgrove High School is offering lunches as a fundraiser for their JROTC team. Lunch includes hamburger/cheeseburger or bratwurst, chips, cookie, and a drink (gatorade or water). Pay for your lunch when you register for the event, and pick up your lunch from noon to 1pm at the finish shelter for the JROTC event, down the hill from the GAOC finish.

Notes

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

(Registration will open for our volunteer meet directors at 7:00pm on Monday, September 11th, and will open for other volunteer coupon holders at 8:00pm on Monday, September 11th. Registration will open to everyone at 9:00pm on Monday, September 11th.) No paper forms or payments will be accepted on-site.
  3. Participants will be started promptly at the start time they select when pre-registering. To facilitate social distancing, please come to the start no earlier than 3 minutes before your start time, but be sure to be at the start on time.
  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.
