Western Connecticut Orienteering Club (WCOC)
Winter 2023-24 Event Schedule
Unless otherwise noted, participants can register and begin at any time between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon. Control flags are collected beginning at 2:00 p.m. (participants must check in and finish the course by this time). Free instruction is available at all meets--no experience is necessary. If you would like instruction, please arrive before 11 a.m. (it's also a good idea to tell the meet director in advance that you'd like some training). Regular local meet fees are $5 for WCOC members, $7 for non-members. $3 additional per person for family members. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact the meet director. Events are held rain or shine!
