A Wee Poem About The Event:
"This years meet is sure to greet the young and un-initiated, For 6 long hours your sure to spend cursing your lack of acclimation. Forget your bikes, you mountain types, knobblie tires won't help you here, For up and down, through thick and thin you'll be navigating. A maze of trail awaits you folks, so travel smart you see, For brains you'll need and some speed, to win this year's glory!"
The Scoop:
Checkpoints are scattered in the woods over a wide area. Each control will have a point value. Teams must strategize in determining which controls to go after and still make it back before the cut-off. Teams arriving late will have points deducted from their total: the highest valued control for each minute beginning at 4:01pm MY time!! The sweet thing is that you can do as much of the course as you like! The course will be friendly at all levels 'cos YOU pick the checkpoints to go after!
Gear:
A pre-printed map of the area showing the checkpoint locations (Scale 1:24,000) will be given to each team member. You may also want to have a copy of the NY/NJ Trail Conference maps for Harriman State Park (available at EMS and the NY/NJ Trail Conference website. We will also have some for sale). Compass and Whistle (NO WHISTLE, NO GO!), small first aid kit (1 per team), map case or large Zip-loc, food and water for 6 hours, backpack, foul weather gear. SUGGESTED GEAR: cell phone
