July 26 Orienteering Event

for the Ultimate Orienteer Classic Orienteering Race on
July 26. We will be offering 3 or 4 different course lengths.
It's guaranteed to be a fun navigational challenge! You can sign

Racer Check-in

Gear Inspection
We will not have a pre-race gear inspection. We WILL be doing
surprise gear inspections on the race course, and there will
be time penalties if you do not have the required gear.
SPORTident Electronic Timing
We will be using the SPORTident electronic timing system for
the race. This system was developed in Germany for orienteering
events, but is easily adapted to adventure racing. Each team
will be issued a SPORTident card, which is inserted into a SPORTident
station at each checkpoint. The SPORTident station stamps the
card with the time and emits a beep. This process only takes
seconds.
At the finish, the data from the card is downloaded to a computer,
and split and total times are printed.
A demonstration of the electronic timing system will be available
at Friday's racer check-in.
Course Maps
Each team will receive one set of maps for the competition.
Each individual may receive a complimentary set of course maps
(available after the competition) by signing up when you register
for the race.
Food
After-race food will be provided for all race participants. Both
vegetarian and omnivorous options will be available.

The field is limited to 99 people,
