A model course will be available Friday afternoon from 12:00 to 4:00 in Ward Pound Ridge which has very similar terrain and features to the main event course areas. The model course is 4.0k with 120 m. of climb and 11 controls. The course can be shortened to 2.6 k. by omitting 3 controls. The control sites will have stands with flags but no SI units.
The model map scale is 1:10,000 with 5m contours and the map is available for $3 at the start.
The start/finish for the model course is at the Pell Hill parking area. After you pass the toll booth (no entrance fee on Fridays) take the second road on the right at the Trailside Museum and continue up the hill to the parking lot. Look for Orienteering sign on parked car.
