Susquehanna Valley Orienteering, in conjunction with
the Quantico Orienteering Club Announces:
THE TWELFTH ANNUAL SUSQUEHANNA STUMBLE
Patapsco Valley State Park (Mckeldin Area), Marriottsville, MD
Sunday, April 18, 2010
The Susquehanna Stumble is a Billygoat-inspired event with a couple of
twists. The competitors run between numbered windows in sequential order,
but within each window there are several controls which can be visited in
ANY order.
WHERE: Patapsco Valley State Park (Mckeldin Area), Marriottsville, MD
Note that the woods here are very open and fast with moderate
climb, thus the longish courses. This is the same area where the
Ran-It Granite A-meet was held last spring. The courses start across
the river from the parking, so be ready to walk to the start by
11:30 AM. Both courses will also cross the river once during the race.
You might get your feet wet. E-punching will be used for both the
Long and Short Stumbles.
WHEN: Mass start at 12:00, Sunday, April 18, 2010. Be ready to walk to
the start by 11:30AM!
WHAT: The Long-Stumble event will be ~18 km in length, with
commemorative towel for the first 20 finishers and the first 5 female
finishers.
The Short-Stumble will be ~10 km with commemorative towels for the
first 10 finishers and first 3 female finishers.
Course Setter: Ted Good (QOC)
Meet Director: Eddie Bergeron
White, Yellow and Orange recreational courses will also be available.
Starts for the recretational courses will be any time between 12 and 2
(no pre-registration needed).
COST: $18 for the Long-Stumble, $12 for the Short-Stumble, normal QOC fees
($6 for members, $10 for non-members) for recreational courses. TO REGISTER
SEND E-MAIL TO bergeron@stsci.edu AND TELL ME WHETHER YOU ARE DOING THE SHORT
OR LONG COURSE, and also your SI stick number. Loaner SI sticks will be
provided at no charge if you don't have your own (lost SI stick fee is
$40-$60). Do not mail payment - just pay when you arrive at the event.
Morning-of-event registration is also ok but you may have to draw your own
course if we run out. Please register via e-mail by Monday, April 12 so we
know how many maps to print.
DIRECTIONS: From I-70 ~7 miles west of I-695, take Marriottsville Rd north
~3.5 miles to the park entrance on the right. Look for Orange and White
"O" signs. Park entry fee is $2 per person for MD residents, $3 per person
all others. Parking will be near the back end of the park - follow O-signs.

A reminder - please send your entry info to me by the end of the day Mon Apr 12. I want to send the SI stick list to Valerie before the race next Sunday. There are only 4 Long Stumble and 9 Short Stumble entries so far. 50 prize towels have been ordered, so at this point all you have to do is finish a course to get one. Yow!
