The road to the event is rough and not recommended for low-clearance vehicles. Sedans can make it with slow, careful driving, but high-clearance vehicles are strongly recommended for comfort and safety.
To ensure everyone can attend—regardless of vehicle type or comfort on unpaved roads—we will carpool from Udall Park:
📍 Meet at the northeasternmost parking lot at Udall Park
🕗 8:15–8:30 am
🚙 Drive time to trailhead: 40–60 minutes
Final parking is at Redington Pass Trailhead (OHV lot off Redington Rd.).
⚠️ The final 8 miles are unpaved with rocky and uneven sections.
🧭 Courses
Both days feature four course options designed for different experience levels:
-
Long Advanced (7–8 km): For experienced orienteers looking for a challenge
-
Short Advanced (~4 km): Technical but shorter
-
Novice (2–3 km): Ideal for first-timers
-
Explorer (Score): Choose-your-own-route format
