Pre-registration is now closed. Please register at the event. (Generally pre-registration is available through the Thursday before an event.)

NOTE:
For 2010, cost of registering the day of the event has increased (see rates above). If you pre-register online, the price is the same as last year. Plus, you'll get a pre-marked map.
Pre-registration will open for an event a few days after the previous event is complete. Pre-registration will generally close the Thursday before each event to allow time for printing the maps.

Details:
Harms Woods is the wildest and most northern of our three maps along the North Branch, and is characterized by a large sloping hillside along the west side of the River that is intercut by a dozen or more reentrants, white and light-green woods and only a scant trail system. It is a technically challenging area with many point features such as depressions, rootstocks, and man-made objects.

We'll be offering the standard white, yellow, orange, green, and red courses. BRING YOUR MUD SHOES! With the storms this week, expect lots of water and mud!

Directions(Driving):
Take the Eden's Expwy (I-94) 7.5 miles north (west) of the Kennedy (I-90) to Exit 35 (Old Orchard Rd). Turn left (west) and continue forward into the parking area. Watch for the orange-and-white orienteering signs.

Public Transit:Take the El to the Davis station in Evanston. Transfer to #208-Golf bus (bus leaves Davis every half hour starting at 8:43). Get off at the forest preserve and walk to registration (1/4 mile or less).
