Orienteering Fees
People on the White course are charged a minimal beginner's fee, while those on the other courses are charged higher fees to cover the additional expenses involved in making the more competitive courses. There are no special rates for teams, although people can compete as teams (teams are not qualified for competitive ranking or medals). Additional courses cost $2 and are subject to map availability.
