Details:
We're starting at Pulaski Woods, and we'll have the standard white
and yellow courses for beginners. For intermediate (orange) and
advanced (green and red), there will be two courses. One will be
a sprint, which is just a shorter, faster version of a regular course.
The other course available will be a Memory-O. For the Memory-O,
the map will show the start and finish controls, but the area in
between will be blank. At each control location, there will be a
map snippet fixed in place that shows the current control and the
next control. Runners must look at the snippet, memorize a route,
and proceed to the next control WITHOUT TAKING THE MAP WITH THEM.
Control numbers and descriptions will be listed on a clue sheet
as usual. Difficulty will be appropriate for the level of the course.
A COMPASS CAN BE VERY USEFUL AT A MEMORY-O.
Directions:
Public Transportation:The hourly #379 bus from
Midway airport serves this forest preserves now. The first bus leaves
the Midway CTA station at the end of the Orange Line at 8:40 and
travels south down LaGrange Road (Rt 45) about 45 minutes later.
Get off the bus as it turns onto LaGrange Road at 107th Street,
just after leaving Moraine Valley Community College (MVCC). You
will be on the Country Lane map; Palos North is west of you down
107th Street, Willow Springs is north of Country Lane. On the return,
ask someone in the parking lot to drop you at MVCC where return
buses depart every hour all afternoon.
Driving: From the Stevenson Expwy (I-55) take
LaGrange Road - South (Hwy 45) across the river and exit on Archer
Avenue to the southwest. Continue for 3 miles and turn left onto
95th street. Turn right at the top of the hill onto Wolf Rd. Follow
the orange-and-white orienteering signs to the start on the right
at Pulaski Woods, about 1/3 mile south of 95th.
