Greetings!

Our first Informal event of the season (and, if I am not mistaken, in the recent history of the Klub) will happen on Sunday, Feb 28.

We will be celebrating the eve of the Leap Year Day at Schenck Forest:


We will start from the shelter that is North of the dirt road that runs roughly East-West.

The idea behind informal events
* members only
* low impact - no controls to be set or removed
* minimal interaction with the park staff - we will be no different from all the runners that use the park informally, sometimes in groups larger than our Members Only events
* no signs will be placed to indicate it as BOK event
* please park responsibly to allow other park visitors their share of fun

The entry in the Google Calendar, as well as on the Schedule web site, is intentionally vague - we are not advertising the event as one sanctioned by the klub.

Please register for the event at http://backwoodsok.org/event-registration in order for me to know how many maps to print.

What you can expect: maps for one or two short courses
What you shouldn't expect: controls or punches. The location of the control will be marked in some bio-degradable way that will be explained prior to the start. Do not carry your fingerstick with you, it's only an opportunity for you to lose it. Being an informal event, we may not even track time, other than to make sure that everybody is safely out of the forest.

The first start should happen at 1PM, and I would like to space out people every 2 minutes. Everybody should be back by 3PM.

No dogs please, even on a leash!

Please direct any questions directly to me.

Mihai
