Detailed 2015 Goldrush Notes, now updated to reflect adjusted ultra course for high heat expected.  Please read carefully to prepare for the meet!  A model map will be included in your packet.

Day 1

Veteran’s Park is one of the very first CTOC maps, probably first mapped before 2000.  Willow Lane first mapped in 2004 by CTOC members.  Last updates in 2014.

Day 2-3

Gold Rush first mapped in 2007 by Alexey Zuev.  Last updates in 2014.

 

 

For those new to orienteering, the maps are more detailed than a normal topographic map.  A quick guide at the OUSA website can be found here.
