Open Event at Raven Rock State Park – Dec 3, 2017
We will have an OPEN event at Raven Rock State Park on Sunday December 3, 2017.
Everyone is welcome, and we will have a beginners class at 12:30.
The event starts at noon and everybody must finish by 3 PM. We will have all regular courses from beginner to advanced, White through Red.
White 2.2km 9 controls
Yellow 2.7km 7 controls
Orange 3.5km 11 controls
Brown 3.7km 8 controls
Green 5.4km 11 controls
Red 6.7km 13 controls
Brown, Green and Red courses will feature a couple of additional (optional) controls. Each optional control (if found) will result in 10 mins reduction in the overall time.
The park is a lovely park, but there are some steep slopes and quite a bit of mountain laurel to slow you down off trail. There are also a couple of new un-mapped trails (in the south east part of the map).
If you are bringing a group of 5 or more people please preregister for this event.
As always, help with control pick-up would be greatly appreciated.
Directions
Raven Rock is near Lillington, about 40 miles S of Raleigh. We will be using the part of Raven Rock that is South of the Cape Fear River. If you are using a GPS to get to the park, use the address: 3009 Raven Rock Road, Lillington, NC, 27546 or use GPS coordinates: 35.459259, -78.912911. Note that Moccasin Branch Rd is unpaved and has a stream crossing it with a ford rather than a bridge. Do not take this at speed! If the park is full (likely), you may be directed to parking on Moccassin Branch Rd a short distance from the park entrance. We will start at the picnic shelter which is adjacent to the first parking area on your right after you enter the park.
