Advanced and expert-level orienteers are invited to the New Hope area of Jordan Lake on Sunday, February 23, where we will offer two middle-distance courses (4.3 km and 3.1 km). Run either or both. Courses open at 11:00. Be off of your course by 2:00, when control pickup starts.

We rarely have events that feature middle-distance races. These courses are shorter than our typical ones, with expected winning times around 35 or 40 minutes. They are intended to be as technically challenging as possible, generally with short legs, a lot of controls, and a lot of direction changes.

Jordan Lake is a new venue for us – our only previous event there was last October. For those who did not make it to that event, note that there are bathroom facilities and ample parking. If the small lot is full, you can park in the enormous lot just past it. Expect relatively steep but open terrain.
