Penalties are deducted for participants who return late to the start area after their time expires.
Courses
- Easy: "Easy" controls (trails, structures, visible features).
- Not so Easy: Many (or all) "Easy" controls plus some harder off-trail locations.
- Permanent:NEW Introducing the new Rockwood Park Permamnent Course. Simplified map with easy control locations but tough-to-find markers!
