Echo Park Urban Discovery
May 20, 2018
Sunday
Come enjoy the first Urban Discovery event of this season. These low key events give you a chance to explore interesting neighborhoods with some strategic navigation challenge.
The goal is to maximize your score within a set time limit by visiting the mapped control locations. Each location is worth a different point value based on difficulty and distance. Instead of punching physical controls, you answer simple multiple choice questions based on interesting city features that are visible at the control locations.
The map includes portions of Elysian Park and the surrounding Echo Park community. A nice combination of park, hilly residential areas, and flatter commercial areas.
We will have a mass start at 10:00am. Participants are welcome to start late, but may not be allowed the full time limit.
Link below is broken. To contact the event director email Clare Durand
The Los Angeles Orienteering Club Annual Meeting will be held at this event. Plan to stick around after your finish to hear what we're planning for the future and to vote for Board Members. Whether or not you are a club member, we encourage your participation.
