Saturday AM Mesa College

Final course statistics and notes will be posted/updated soon after vetting is complete Monday, May 20.

A. Mesa College is mostly buildings and pavement, with a few patches of grass and vegetated areas you get to go through.

B. Read further down about the mapping style ... you definitely need to read your clue sheet, as some checkpoints are in places mapped as 2 OR MORE levels, and you need to know whether to be on the upper or lower level, and find the stairway or ramp that gets you there! This is very much a "3D" course!

C. In general the Clue Sheet will be necessary throughout the course. At many orienteering events you can just "run to the center of the circle and see a bag." Don't rely on that here. Read ahead on the map and plan your route into the checkpoint.

D. Arena and Spectating: Near the start are 2 spectator controls. They are visited "halfway," the second being the map flip, and that 2nd one is also the "Go" control. Start and Finish are both within 100m of the check-in area.
