Come walk/jog/run with us! All ages, paces, and abilities welcome.  We will meet at Chamna Natural Preserve.

We are kicking off October with an orienteering inspired run. On Tuesday evening we will be placing ~15 checkpoints around Chamna. Meet us at the main Chamna parking lot at 5:30 PM and we’ll give everybody a map with the checkpoint locations. Then at 5:40 we’ll all head out for a 1-hour adventure. The goal is to try and find as many checkpoints as you can in one hour, in whatever order you want. You can you can run or hike, you can search on your own or with a friend, and you get to choose your own route! Race to find the most or just enjoy exploring some new corners of the park. Then we’ll all meet back at the parking lot around 6:30 to share our stories.

Most of the checkpoints will be accessible by trail, but some will be off trail, and you can save time and find more checkpoints by running cross-country. A compass isn’t needed, but it can help with the navigation. We recommend wearing trail-runners and tall socks or tights, in case you decide to take a cross-country route. And bring a watch so you don’t lose track of time!

If you track your run with a GPS watch, we’ll try and set up a website where you can upload your tracks and compare routes.
