WELCOME 
to HVO local meet in memory of orienteer Mark Bekker!
 

Event Director – Anna Bekker
Course setter – Stefan Slutsky

Venue

 

Typical city park, built on a terminal moraine of the last glaciation period.  The path/trail system is extensive.  There are many 4-5 feet tall light wire fences around the park. They are very difficult to pass. Though, very often, they are poorly visible. On the map they are shown with the symbol “crossable fence”. We advise to run them around. An example of such a fence will be presented at the start area.  The 6+ feet tall fences are mapped as “uncrossable fences”.

Courses pass the park’s main inner circle with heavy bicycle traffic. Be extra careful when crossing it. Also some courses may cross horse trails. If you see horse riders, do not approach them closer than 20 meters.
