Schedule
Participants will request their start time when completing registration online. Participants start times will be posted on the LSOC website prior to the event. All participants are expected to begin the course promptly at their start time. A 15 minute beginner class is offered at 0930 at the Koehler Pavilion. The first start is at 10:00 am, the last start is at 12:00 noon, with a 2-hour time limit for all courses. LSOC prefers to start runners as early as possible so we can have maximum attendance at the awards ceremony. All runners must be off all courses by 2:00 pm. The awards ceremony will be held no later than 2:pm at Koehler Pavilion. The award ceremony usually starts at 1 pm.

Trail O participants can have LSOC volunteers or others assist them in their movement from control to control along the course.

Covid Guidance - Participants must stay home when sick. Participants and event volunteers should practice social distancing: Participants should maintain at least 2m distance from volunteers who are at stations (i.e. registration, start, finish, download etc.)

Georgia Pig Roast Lunch
A limited number of authentic BBQ pork lunches will be available. My buddy, from Georgia, is doing the pig roast on site. To ensure a plate, please purchase a lunch during registration. We will sell any remaining lunches the day of the meet. The cost is $15 per plate.
