Course Setter's Notes:

Mendon Ponds Park has a lot of different types of terrain, and from Hopkins Point Lodge we will get to experience a good variety! To the south and west, steep eskers and open woods (though, a bit of swallowtail on the long course will require some effort to traverse or avoid). To the north, flat terrain, with and without underbrush, which is currently much drier than usual - no water was encountered in the streambeds or marshy areas on a recent visit, though they are quite soft underfoot. Come out and see what you find!

We will have instruction available at 11:30 and a variety of courses that you can start between 12 and 1:30

Instruction is available at all events, just ask at the registration table.  Feel free to bring friends and family.

Pre-packaged snacks, fruit and jugs of water/Gatorade will be available.

Don't forget to sign up to volunteer and pre-register.

See you in the woods!
