Register before March 1 for Lower Prices

The maps are finished, the courses are designed and vetted, and we're now focused on the finishing touches that will make the 2012 U.S. Individual Orienteering Champs in Georgia a special event.

 

We're excited to report that more than 200 competitors have registered so far. And we wanted to let you know that there are only a few days left in our regular registration period, which runs through February 29. But if you miss regular registration, don't worry -- you can still register during late registration March 1-31.

 

If you'd like to know more about the event, please see the 2nd WRE Bulletin we just published. We've also updated the lodging page on our Website to let you know which hotels are filled, and we added some more hotels in nearby Newnan, GA.

 

It's going to be a great Champs, so get in gear and set a course to Georgia.
