The Differences
This event
follows the guidelines provided by
Club Fat Ass for safe and successful,
informal endurance sports "parties":
- It is free for
Club members
- It is hosted by
a Club member
- It is small and
informal. Guests should come prepared
for the weather and the terrain and not
expect aid or course marking. They
should expect to follow detailed written
course instructions
- It is
environmentally friendly. We aim to
leave our route in better shape than it was
before we passed through.
- It is as much
about the camaraderie as the competition.
Guests at the
event
download from the Internet directions based
on natural and physical landmarks. As with
orienteering, those who aren't familiar with
the course will pause frequently
to consult the written directions, giving a
slight competitive advantage to those who
have trained on it. Course directions are
available year 'round on the course page of this website
and we encourage everyone to enjoy the route as often
as they please throughout the year.
Detailed
questions and clarifications specific to
this event are provided in the FAQ's.
