We will have an Open Reveal-O event at Carolina North on Sunday, Apr 14. You don’t need to be an expert to participate in this event – there will be plenty of controls to find for all levels.

Park at the parking lot of Orange County Health Department (2501 Homestead Rd, Chapel Hill, NC 27516) and follow BOK signs to the start, which is on a major paved trail (greenway) 300 feet south west from the parking lot.

The event starts at 11.30 am and everybody must finish by 2.30 PM.

The Reveal-O time limit will be 80 minutes. There will be 2 points penalty for every minute you are late coming back from the course (starting from the first second after the allotted 80 mins).

The map you will receive at the start will contain only 15 controls (out of 30 total placed in the woods). The rest of the controls will be revealed to you during the race. 5 out of 15 initial controls will be so called “reveal controls”. When you arrive at one of these controls you will find a small map which will reveal locations of 2-3 additional controls. You will be able to take this new small map with you or copy locations of the revealed controls on your master map and continue the race.

We will have a beginners Q&A session starting at noon. If you are new to orienteering we recommend that you check out these short videos to prepare for the event.
