Welcome back to Lake Needwood! This will be our eighth event at this beautiful lakeside park [2], nestled within the 1,800 acre Rock Creek Regional Park. On offer is a full slate of beginner through advanced courses (white through blue), and course stats and course setter comments are posted below. This park offers a surprising array of family recreational opportunities as well ā from kayak rentals to the Go Ape! Treetop challenge course (see below).
Standard event timing: register between 10:45 - 1:15, start any time between 11 - 1:30, and be back before 3pm.
Driving directions are below; we will be in Shelter C (Just up hill from Shelter A, near the restrooms). And BTW, leashed dogs are welcome!
Youth or large groups: Please contact the Event Director [3] so that we can coordinate pre-registration for your group; the group registration and waiver form [4] is part of the information on our Group Leaders [5] page.
