Lake Claiborne O Meet Director Notes
October 18, 2008

Lake Claiborne State Park is a beautiful site for orienteering with challenging terrain and lots of open running. There are a few briars, but not enough to worry about. The boundaries of the park are well marked. Just make sure to not go into the lake or cross fences. The main concerns are the mosquitoes and chiggers. Bug spray could come in handy. Hopefully, the temperatures will cool down enough that the bugs will stay home.

We will have water on the courses, but runners may want to have a bottle or canteen with them. Make sure to come back with everything you start with. The ALTOS Environmental Czar may penalize runners who litter! You don’t want to mess with her!

Since the annual clinic was blown out by Hurricane Ike, we will have an extended training session at Lake Claiborne. ALTOS will also have whistles available for $1.00. Whistles can be life savers. Make sure to have one with you while running your course.

Come join us for a fun day of orienteering at beautiful Lake Claiborne State Park.  Some useful links follow:
