Townsend, MA
Our Townsend map is wonderfully detailed, with plenty of tricky areas. The drawback has always been the one small parking area in the south of the map. Print your own map(s) and complete the courses at your own leisure.
Control locations will be marked with QR codes affixed with flagging tape. Timing can be done via QR-code orienteering or just use your watch (see Time Your Run below).
No volunteers will be on-site, but questions may be directed to the course setter. Please follow all state and local regulations in regards to use of masks and social distancing.
Event is free for NEOC members and $5 for non-members.
