Join us for a springtime frolic through scenic Stanford University, where the hills are low and there is no poison oak (except in one small area that you wouldn't want to visit anyway). We have reserved a beautiful spring day, so this will be an ideal event for a family outing.
The courses have not been completely planned, but there will be White and Yellow courses for beginners, and an Orange course for intermediate orienteers. In addition, there be something to entertain and challenge experienced orienteers. Hopefully there will be a Start-O for the smaller orienteers. Details of the courses will be provided shortly before the event.
Registration will be open from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm in front of Tresidder Student Union. Beginner's clinics will be available 9:30-10:30 am. Starts will be from 10:00 am until 12:30 pm. All participants must check in at the finish by 2:00 pm, whether or not they have finished their course.
Directions:
From Highway 101, exit at Oregon Expressway/Embarcadero Road, and take Oregon Expressway southwest beyond El Camino Real (where the name changes to Page Mill Road) to Foothill Expressway/Junipero Serra Boulevard. Turn right onto Junipero Serra, and follow the "common" directions below.
From Highway I-280, exit at Page Mill Road, and drive northeast to Foothill Expressway/Junipero Serra Blvd. Turn left onto Junipero Serra, and follow the "common" directions below.
Common to both routes: Drive on Junipero Serra Blvd. to Campus Drive East. Turn right and drive to Mayfield Avenue (the first street on the left). Turn left and follow Mayfield around a forced left turn. Park in the first parking lot on your right. Registration will be in front of Tresidder Student Union, the large building just north of the parking lot.
