Course results can be seen below as well as on Attackpoint for White and Yellow. To enter your routes and see how others went, head to RouteGadget.

Next weekend: A full weekend of events! Training, night orienteering on Saturday, and classic/day orienteering on Sunday, all based out the Happyland Camp at Prince William Forest Park. Training and overnight accommodations require pre-registration (details here). Registration for the Saturday Night-O and the Sunday Day-O will be at those events.

This year, Mason Neck had comfortable temperatures and some rain, but the competitors were not deterred.
We had 170 starts on courses designed by Mark Hicks, which included the Twisted-O. The competitors enjoyed the courses and the challenge of Mason Neck’s unique terrain. We had a few school organizations and a Boy Scout Troop attend the meet. One Scout finished his requirements for the orienteering merit badge, and the others completed the map and compass work for their First Class requirement.
We were able to coordinate a couple of new locations for the post-race meetup this year at Quiznos and Z Pizza, and I hope those of you who took advantage of the 15% discount enjoyed your meal.
Finally, a huge THANK YOU goes out to the following volunteers that supported the event without whom the meet could not be a success: Registration – Jon & Kira Bertheussen, Ashley Hicks, and Paul Hession; Beginner Instruction – Mark Hicks, Bill Wright, Gary Smith and Keg Good; E-punch – Tori Cambell, Amy Louden, and Valerie Meyer; and Control Pick-up – John Baker, Charles Carrick, Mark Hicks, Mark Becker, Scott Sharp, and John Organek.
David Stapleton, Mason Neck Assistant Park Manager, and the Mason Neck State Park staff were very helpful and supportive of our event once again. Thanks to the entire park staff for their assistance.
Overall, it was a great event and we all look forward to returning.

-Rae Ann Hicks, Event Director
