Pre-registration is now closed. Please register at the event. (Generally pre-registration is
available through the Thursday before an event.)
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 and yellow courses for beginners.
For intermediate and advanced level orienteerers, we have two sprint
courses (both included with registration--you can do either or both).
Each sprint course will be designed to have a winning time of 15-20
minutes. The controls will be spaced closer than on regular courses,
and the difficultly will be comparable to a regular orange course.
If you like running fast, sprints are for you. If you just like
coming out and enjoying the woods, sprints are still fun! We hope
to see you there!
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).
