Course Setter's Notes:

Letchworth State Park is just coming out of winter. The woods are open and the undergrowth has not had a chance to get going. The main areas of green, mapped undergrowth are the clumps of prickly bushes that are very visible but not very navigable.

Water levels are slightly higher than mapped, especially if there is a lot of rain in the week prior to the meet. Swamps with a solid black boundary line are UNCROSSABLE due to having some very deep areas that are dangerous and not possible to map. Trails are mainly dry with some wet, muddy spots...you should expect to get your feet wet.

String-O will be available to show off your speed!

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.
