OLOU 2024 - Rough River State Resort Park - Saturday, September 14, 2024

OLOU

OLOU 2024 - Rough River State Resort Park
Starts open from 9am - 11am central time / 10am - noon eastern time.

Starts are near the Shelter across the park road from the Beach.

Online registration required before event for $10, OLOU members and cadets get a $3 discount.

Courses offered:
Yellow 3.05 KM 14 C
Orange 3.40 KM 15 C
Brown 3.10 KM 9 C
Red 5.90 KM 20 C
Blue 9.00 KM 29 C


I am hoping to get permission to use some of the land on the west side of Highway 79. This will not be known until late August due to the timing for a bridge project on Highway 79. If this happens only the advanced courses will go into this area.

The disc golf course has a changing mowing pattern. Therefore the vegetation on this part of the map is not accurate. A lot more of this area has been mowed than in the past. Parts of the courses are very open mowed areas, other parts are very rough needing long pants and/or gaiters.

The Blue course has a map exchange. It is the Red course and the Brown course. There are no shared legs between the Red and the Brown.

ICO

The Flat Rock River YMCA Camp in St. Paul, IN will be the venue for the Sept. ICO meet. We will be offering point-to-point courses at Beginner/Intermediate, Advanced and Expert levels. Courses will be set by Dylan Poe.

Lake Herman 2024 - Sunday, September 15, 2024

BAOC

Lake Herman 2024
Lake Herman Recreation Area is in the grassy hills above the Carquinez Strait. With its fairly open terrain and modest hills by Bay Area standards, Lake Herman is a lot less intimidating than many of our locations. So, if you have been thinking of moving up to a more advanced level, this is a great place to do that.

Read the event page carefully to avoid going to the wrong location!

There is no White (beginner) course at this event, but the Yellow (advanced beginner) course is easier than usual.

You may register here online if you pay online (credit card, debit card, or PayPal account). Email the registrar if you have questions.

2024 NAV-X Challenge #3 - San Francisco - 2 or 4 hour GPS Map Trek
The 3rd event of the 2024 Nav-X season will take place at Golden Gate, Presidio, & Lands End Parks in San Francisco, CA. We've expanded the map from the 2021 event to include Golden Gate Park and the city streets in between all 3 parks. The start will be in the middle of Golden Gate Park (Hellman Hollow picnic area) with free parking. The map has undergone significant updates as well. The scale will be 1:10000 with 5 meter contours across the whole area. This event will use the app "MapRun" for timing on your own schedule. The competitive window for this event is July 11- September 30. We've extended the window by one month due to the course being unavailable during most of August (Outside Lands Festival). Results during this time period will be included in the official results and accrue Nav-X Challenge series points but the course will still be available on MapRun until 2025 Jan 1, after which it will move to the archived courses. Upon registration, you will receive (1) registration confirmation, (2) within 24 hours, a separate email with links to map documents.

NAVX

2024 NAV-X GPS Challenge #4 - Donner Summit - 4 or 8 hour Map Trek
The 2024 Nav-X Challenge's 4th event brings us back to the Donner Summit area of Tahoe. We will be using a map with a scale of 1:15,000 and 5m contours. The map was made from a newer more accurate Lidar data set collected in 2018-19. The auto generated vegetation and cliffs are more accurate than the previous map version. The existing orienteering maps of Boreal Ridge and Donner Ski Ranch were georeferenced and imported into to the Lidar base map so half of the map will have orienteering level details such as boulders, knolls, depressions, etc. It should be a real treat for anyone who enjoys the high country at the best time of year, whether you are looking for a scenic hike, or a tough endurance race. The 4 and 8 hour courses will be GPS based, using the app "MapRun" for timing on your own schedule. The competitive window for this event is a 2-month window from August 1- September 30, 2024. Results during this time period will be included in the official results and accrue Nav-X Challenge series points but the course will still be available on MapRun until Jan 1, 2025. Upon registration, you will receive (1) registration confirmation, (2) within 24 hours, a separate email with links to map documents.
