20 checkpoints intended for returning participants or those familiar with orienteering.

Phones are permitted on course to improve accessibility, while noting that phones are typically restricted in standard orienteering events. Registration completed before April 30 guarantees a race shirt.

After the event, local vendors will be present on Reynolds Street. 77 Club will offer pizza and Two Frays Brewing will have a pop-up presence each week. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
