White: 1.6 km 11 controls 45M climb
Yellow 1.9 km 10 controls 80M climb
Orange 3.0 km 11 controls 100M climb
Brown 3.3 km 12 controls 110M climb
Green 5.1 km 15 controls 150M climb
Red 6.6 km 16 controls 230M climb
Blue 9.1 19 controls 300M climb
Trails: I added several of the trails that are either more distinct or are most likely to be seen on a course. The fall leaves hide some of the trails. Many of the mountain bike trails SW of the farm are indistinct and have not been added or are marked indistinct. I am not a professional mapper but in my estimation this adds a tremendous amount of value to these courses.
*White and Yellow should not be confused by any previously unmarked trails.
*Shared 1st control: W&Y, Blue&Green, Red&Brown
*Blue has 2 repeat controls 4/15 and 11/14
General Notes: Brown, Green, and Red explore the woods near Antietam Lake, Rotary Park and the Farm while staying away from Skyline Drive. For those who want a challenge, Blue will test your endurance and technical skills with some controls down the North side of Skyline Drive. Be sure to know the symbol for boulder on the clue sheet!
Parking will be at Antietam Lake with start at the Nature Center. There is about a 350 meter uphill walk to the start. I would love to hear your opinions once you are done running your course!
