Rockwood Solstice Sweep

Let Summer Begin!
To celebrate the return of Summer, come out and play in the woods!
This is a reprise of the May 14th Jamboree-O-the-Trail event. The Beginner and Novice courses will be the same, while the loops will be adjusted slightly to give a bit of a new challenge for the more advanced orienteerers.
All controls are set in a very compressed event area. No control is more than 750m (as the crow flies) from the start/finish - your milage will vary! The terrain is mostly open forest with rocky ground.
REGISTRATION INFORMATION:

COURSES:
- Course 1 (1-2km): Beginner. A good introductory course for beginners. Controls are located along trails.
- Course 2 (2-3km): Novice. The controls are located near, but mostly off the trails. Use the trails to make your way around the course.
