Reply by rgbortz on Mon Dec 12, 2022 at 9:13 pmAnd also a big thank you to Kathy for stepping up to be event director for a late-in-the-season event that always has the potential for tough issues to deal with.A huge thank you to those brave enough to give a go at running a course without the aid of a compass. Check out the split page to see who all took on the "No Compass Challenge", especially under the weather conditions.I was totally blown away by the positive outlook and feedback as runners came in from their ......damp....courses.Looking forward to implementing some of the other ideas I've had over the years to spice events up a bit.Everyone that completed a course sans compass will have at least one voucher for a future event coming their way.The Coventry Woods park personnel certainly deserve mention for their very kind cooperation with DVOA.

Reply by wriley on Mon Dec 12, 2022 at 9:25 pmAwesome you hosted this event - and despite the weather-inspired challenges of getting myself out the door, and started on the course, it turns out I had dressed well enough to really enough the adventure of trapsing around the forest - and so did many others I saw out there!
