Take the Party Bus and Help QOC Win!

Once a year, the 3 Mid-Atlantic orienteering clubs (QOC, DVOA and SVO) meet up in a friendly competition, and a highly complex formula that includes a count of the members per club is used to determine the winning club. Help us win back the celebrated "Broken Compass Award" by heading up to the event this coming Oct. 31 - and don't let the competitive aspects scare you if you're on white, yellow or orange courses - all participation helps, regardless of which course or your speed. [Competition details are listed here.]

QOC Medalists from US Classic Champs

Running amidst beautiful fall colors and on a very challenging new map, QOC members brought back 9 medals from last weekend's Classic Champs orienteering competition, hosted by EMPO. The terrain bore little resemblance to any of our local venues; it featured highly complex contour and rock detail, quite indistinct trails, many marsh/reentrant drainages, and yet was often surprisingly fast and runnable. A touch of Scandinavia right in upstate New York!

QOC Board Meeting

Some people will do anything to avoid a meeting, but really, at least the ones we hold beat many alternatives!

The next QOC Board of Directors meeting will be held this coming Tuesday, Oct. 19 in Fairfax, at the house of Gary Smith, our VA VP of Competition. Food will be served starting at 7pm, and the meeting will go from 7:30 - 9:30.

Please let Gary know by Monday if you will be attending; he'll email you address details.

Hemlock Overlook and Dorey Park Results Available

Results and Route Gadget (where you can draw your route or view those of others) are now posted for the Hemlock Overlook event. In case you missed it, results from the Oct. 3 Dorey Park meet are also posted. Great job by both volunteer crews! Here are direct links to the Dorey Park and Hemlock Overlook Park results.
