Welcome to one of our most favorite, least steep parks! Our course setter Craig Shelden has prepared a full range of courses from White (Beginner) to Blue (Advanced) and every other color course in between that QOC normally has available. Register at the event anytime between 10:45am - 1:15pm, start any time between 11 - 1:30, and be back at the finish no later than 3pm. Water, snacks, bathrooms, and all the other usual amenities will also be available.
New to orienteering? We will hold beginner clinics continuously during the event; just tell the friendly folks at registration if you'd like to be in one and they'll take care of you. Also, make sure to check out our Your First Event and For Beginners webpages, and if they don't answer any question you have, just use our Contact Us form and ask away!
Group Leaders: please see our Group Leaders page and then contact our Event Director, Dave Levine, so your group can get pre-registered in advance.
Special Notes for this event:
- Start and Finish will be near the registration area at the Pavilion.
- All maps will be at a scale of 1:10,000.
- Dogs are welcome but must be on leash at all times.
Reminder! If you haven't registered yet for our very own "Q3" Classic Two Championships, fees increase after Oct. 14, so save some $ and do so now. This event will take place on the Quantico Marine Base in two fine areas that have never been used before for any orienteering event, so come be the first to check out these new terrains and new maps. All event information and registration is via our USchamps.org website, and in case it's not clear, all orienteers are welcome and that definitely means beginners of all ages too!

| Course Notes | Classic The map continues to hold up pretty well. As a consequence of holding this event in early fall, indistinct trails may have some leaves covering portions – and – visibility will be less than we might enjoy in a late fall or early winter event. Creeks often have sheer, deep sides of about 3 – 5 feet. They're not deep enough to require a contour, but they are deep enough to warrant crossing caution. As usual, linear marshes and gullies may have water present depending on recent rainfall. When site checking this past weekend, the park was pretty dry. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
