Cooper's Rock 4-hour orienteering Rogaine


Part of M.A.S.S. (Morgantown Advenure Sports Series), this 4-hour race took place in Cooper's Rock State Forest, just east of Morgantown, West Virginia.

Starting at 1 PM, the day was very hot with clear skies. There were four water stations spread in the park. There were about 35 controls, most on hilltops, stream junctions, spurs.

The event had 17 starts (teams and solo). Most of the participants were from the Morgantown area.

A quality map printed to scale of 1:10000 made this event great, well organized, and rewarding.
