Happy New Year!
On Sunday, January 8th we held a first QOC’s event of 2023 at Fountainhead Regional Park – the eastern section of the park this time. Despite quite cold weather high 30F and with some rain showers in the forecast for the afternoon, we welcomed around 315 runners on 7 courses designed by Patrick Farley.
We were lucky, no rain at the end, so it was a nice day for orienteering!
A big thank you goes to Patrick! The course setter job requires many hours to design all courses; going to the park over several days; spending a day or two hanging controls days before; and then arriving early the day of the race to make sure all is well for the race. It’s a lot of hard work!
Many thanks to all volunteers who made this event a success! – Matyas Minar, Harry Jones, and Alex Merka at check-in and map distribution; Monika Kornhauser and Scott Sharp at beginner instruction; John Baker, Charles Carrick, Matt Knight, John Organek, Bill Wright, Joseph Barrett, Beatri Bennett, Sharmagh Yepremian, and Ritter Clevenger who all went back out in the woods to pick up the controls.
An extra thank you goes to Charles Carrick for overall support and for taking care of all the details needed for this event to happen. And, a final thank you goes to Valerie Meyer for her tireless dedication and expertise to print maps and run the epunch system the entire day by herself!
