All Courses --- The trails that we're using are in a popular equestrian area, so be on the lookout for horses on the trail. Horses have the right of way. You should step off the trail, talk to the horse quietly, and let it pass.
Some wild flowers may still be in bloom.
White Recreational --- Portions of the trails are too rough for regular strollers, but the large wheeled varieties like converted bicycle trailers and jogging tricycles should be fine on Saturday. On Sunday, even the large wheeled strollers will have to be lifted at times, and some trails are so narrow that the wheels would trample grass.
White Competitive --- On both Saturday and Sunday there is a different course for competitive and recreational runners, in order to make the competitive course long enough to get close to the target winning times. These are slightly longer than most of the standard BAOC white courses.
Yellow --- All controls are visible from a handrail. The most difficult handrails are the seasonal streams, which at this time of year are dry. These streams vary from a shallow gravel ditch to what was a pooled area barely discernable from the surrounding ground. Most often the seasonal streams are somewhat depressed areas with clean looking exposed gravel. At times there is a more direct route between controls by going cross-country. Following the handrails will increase the stated straight-line distance somewhat on Saturday's and Sunday's courses.
