Details:

Please register on-line if possible. We will not be able to process payments on-site. If you aren't able to pre-register, we can make alternative arrangements when you arrive on the day of the event. Online registration will be open until midnight October 11th.

We will be offering regular beginner and intermediate courses plus a special "Micro-O" course for advanced orienteers. To make the Micro-O course a little more challenging and interesting, there will be a special twist. In addition to the regular e-punch controls, there will be a number of "decoy" controls placed in the woods. The decoys will be obvious upon inspection (there's no control number on them) but might draw you in from a distance if you aren't paying close attention to precise navigation and the course feature.

 

Directions:
Take the Eden's Expwy (I-94) 2 miles north (west) of the Kennedy (I-90) to Exit 41A (N Caldwell Ave). west). Caldwell will bend from west to north as you go 4 miles to the forest preserve entrance on your right, just past Oakton St. Watch for the orange-and-white orienteering signs. You can also take the Edens to Touhy and go west to Caldwell. Turn right and go north, following the directions above. From the north, exit at Dempster and take that west to Waukegan. Turn left and go south, watching for the Caldwell split to your left. The forest preserve entrance is about 1/4 mile north of Oakton.
