9:30 AM\nStaggered Starts: R ogaine mass start 10:00 AM, maps handed out 9:45 AM\nCourses: Urban Rogaine \nCourses Close: 1:00 PM\nComments: The beginners courses (white, yellow, a nd sprint) are CANCELED (they will be re-scheduled for later in the fall). The Urban Rogaine will still go on as scheduled.\n The second event on the Fall 2012 calendar is exciting for two reasons:\n 1. It is on a new map of Beaver Brook Reservation in Belmont, MA\n 2. It will feature an Urban Rogai ne: a long orienteering course around the streets of Belmont, Watertown, Wa ltham, and Cambridge. There will be a 3 hour, 1½ hour, and bike divisions f or the Rogaine.\n \n Parking is located at 90 Wilson Road, Waltham, MA (ht tps://maps.google.com/maps?q=90+Wilson+Road,+Waltham,+MA&hl=en&ll=4 2.387126,-71.19838&spn=0.01577,0.029998&sll=42.37839,-71.112214& ;sspn=0.126174,0.239983&oq=90+Wilson+Road,+Waltham+&hnear=90+Wilson +Rd,+Waltham,+Massachusetts+02452&t=m&z=16). For overflow parking, park in the shopping center immediately to the west of Wilson Road. Rogaine runners need to arrive by 9:30 to register.

Thanks. \nCourse notes for Sept 1, 2012 Urban R ogaine:\n\n - Mass start for all entrants at 10:00 AM. Maps handed out at 9 :45, allowing 15 minutes to plan your route. Register by 9:30.\n\n - There will be both a 1½ hour division and a 3 hour division. Anyone finishing bef ore 1½ hour will automatically be placed in that division. The course is do able on a bike, and there will be a separate bike division if anyone wants to ride. I would recommend a hybrid bike since Belmont's roads are notoriou s for bumps and potholes, and 7 of the controls are on dirt trails.\n\n - T here are 40 controls (in honor of NEOC's 40th Anniversary), which can be vi sited in any order.\n\n - The shortest-route-possible to go to all 40 contr ols is on the order of 53 km, with 474m of climb, so nobody will be able to go to all the controls within the time limit.\n\n - Point values for the c ontrols are the control number rounded down, so e.g., control 63 is worth 6 0 points. Total point value for all controls is 2040 points. The penalty fo r finishing over the time limit is 15 points per minute for the first 5 min utes, and 30 points per minute after that (seconds are rounded up).\n\n - T he Clue Sheet gives a physical description of each control and a question t hat can only be answered when you have reached that location (e.g. “Telepho ne Pole #___, on W corner by house #14”) When you reach a control, you are to write on the Control Card the control #, the answer to the clue sheet qu estion, and the time you arrived at the control. The time can be recorded a s either absolute time (e.g. 10:23) or race time (0:23), just be consistent .\n\n - There are only 2 official water stops: (1) at the start/finish area , and (2) on the porch of my house, which is one of the controls on the map (#63). You may find water fountains at some parks (Fresh Pond), but the be st solution is to take drinks and money with you. There are plenty of gas s tations / convenience stores / pizza shops / etc. where you can buy whateve r you need very quickly.\n\n - Everybody must carry map, clue sheet, contro l card, pencil, watch, and water bottle (it's going to be hot!). It is reco mmended that everyone also take a compass, an extra pencil, money, and a ce ll phone.\n\n - Cheating not allowed: no use of cars, buses, or trains; no assistance from the Internet or GPS.Map notes for Sept 1, 2012 Urban Rogain e:\n\n - The Suburban Rogaine map is an 11” by 17” sheet of paper with a sc ale of 1:25000 and 10 ft contours. It includes all of Belmont and Watertown , the eastern part of Waltham, and the western tip of Cambridge. You do not need to know the contours in order to navigate, but you may want to use th em to determine route choice since there are some noticeably steep hills.\n \n - The map has a few non-standard symbols in the legend. Public schools a re shown in orange. Private schools and institutions are shown in gray. Thi s includes McLean Hospital; Fernald State School (which is largely shut dow n and feels like a ghost town); Brandeis College; Perkins School for the Bl ind; Belmont Hill School; and numerous small private schools. Town parks ar e light green. Conservation land is dark green. Cemeteries are gray with pu rple cross-hatching and are off-limits; please respect the dead. Golf cours es are yellow with purple cross-hatching and are off-limits. Some conservat ion land has purple cross-hatching and are off-limits. You can run on the t rails in Rock Meadow, but you are NOT to go off-trail.\n\n - Actually, you should stay on trails in all of the dark green forest land (Beaver Brook, H abitat, Lone Tree Hill, Stonehurst Conservation Land, Shady's Pond Conserva tion Land, Rock Meadow Conservation Area, Gore Place, Fresh Pond, Alewife B rook Reservation, etc.). The major trails in these areas are marked on the map; minor trails may or may not be on the map. They all have differing pol icies involving off-trail behaviour, so to make it easy for everyone to fol low, we use the most restrictive rule, which is to NOT GO OFF TRAILS. This is especially important in Rock Meadow, where there are many open fields th at would be tempting to cross. Those fields are prime nesting grounds and t he town is very serious about the no-off-trail policy.\n\n - On the other h and, you can go off trails in town parks and schools as long as you don't r un through a ball game or other activity. You can usually tell what is a to wn park by the mowed lawn and marked ball fields. Of course, some have fenc es around them - never climb a fence, only go through gates.\n\n - All priv ate property is off limits! Stick to the streets and paths marked on the ma p. No cutting through resedential yards or climbing fences. Parking lots, s uch as at Shaw's, are ok; but note that many parking lots have fences surro unding them and may have extra security.\n\n - A commuter railroad passes t hrough the middle of the map (purple line). Do not go anywhere near the tra cks except to cross them at streets marked on the map.\n This event was imported from: https: //newenglandorienteering.org/events-all-categories/eventdetail/212/-/neoc-b eaver-brook-urban-rogaine?tmpl=component X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

Co urse notes for Sept 1, 2012 Urban Rogaine:
Mass start for all entrants at 10:00 AM. M aps handed out at 9:45, allowing 15 minutes to plan your route. Register by 9:30.
There will be both a 1½ hour division and a 3 hour division. Anyone finishing before 1 ½ hour will automatically be placed in that division. The course is doable on a bike, and there will be a separate bike division if anyone wants to ri de. I would recommend a hybrid bike since Belmont's roads are notorious for bumps and potholes, and 7 of the controls are on dirt trails.
There are 40 controls (in hono r of NEOC's 40th Anniversary), which can be visited in any order .
The shortest-rou te-possible to go to all 40 controls is on the order of 53 km, with 474m of climb, so nobody will be able to go to all the controls within the time li mit.
Point values for the controls are the control number rounded down, so e.g., control 63 i s worth 60 points. Total point value for all controls is 2040 points. The p enalty for finishing over the time limit is 15 points per minute for the fi rst 5 minutes, and 30 points per minute after that (seconds are rounded up) .
The Clue Sheet g ives a physical description of each control and a question that can only be answered when you have reached that location (e.g. “Telephone Pole #___, o n W corner by house #14”) When you reach a control, you are to write on the Control Card the control #, the answer to the clue sheet question, and the time you arrived at the control. The time can be recorded as either absolu te time (e.g. 10:23) or race time (0:23), just be consistent.
Everybody must carry map, clue s heet, control card, pencil, watch, and water bottle (it's going to be hot!) . It is recommended that everyone also take a compass, an extra pencil, mon ey, and a cell phone.

Actually, you should stay on tr ails in all of the dark green forest land (Beaver Brook, Habitat, Lone Tree Hill, Stonehurst Conservation Land, Shady's Pond Conservation Land, Rock M eadow Conservation Area, Gore Place, Fresh Pond, Alewife Brook Reservation, etc.). The major trails in these areas are marked on the map; minor trails may or may not be on the map.
