About this event
Bring your flashlight or headlamp and join us for orienteering in the dark at Knox Farm State Park just outside East Aurora and then stick around to help us celebrate the 50 th anniversary of the Buffalo Orienteering Club.
Event Format: This event is designed for people who have already had some orienteering experience or those who feel very confident using a topographic map and hiking in the dark. You can participate as an individual or with a group of your friends or family. Two courses will be available: a Long Course of 4 kilometers and a Medium Course of 3 kilometers. Both courses will have fairly easy control locations. There will be a mass start. Livelox will be available and SIAC will be enabled.
Location: We are using a new Check-In location this year. Check-In will be located in the “Tack Room” at Knox Farm (42.772600, -78.637921). Use the event entrance at 345 Buffalo Road, East Aurora, NY 14052. This entrance is a quarter mile SE of the main public entrance.
Time: Check-in takes place from 5:00 to 5:45 PM. The mass start takes place at 6:00 PM. The time limit is 90 minutes.
Cost: The event fee is $5 for members of any orienteering club or $10 for non-members. Juniors 20 and under who are part of a BFLO family membership participate for free; otherwise it’s $5. Children 11 and under participate for free but must be registered by a parent. Interested in becoming a member? You can do so on our membership page .
Registration: Pre-registration is strongly encouraged and will guarantee a map for you. The pre-registration deadline is 11:00 p.m. Thursday, November 5. Note: Each member of a group must register and sign the waiver. Children must be registered by a parent.
Instruction: We are not planning on offering formal instruction, but we will happily answer any questions.
