"The
Billy Pig" and "The Piglet" are long-course events, in the fine tradition
of the famous Billy Goat. The Billy Goat and its imitation "goats"
around the country
have become extremely popular. Besides the original Billy
Goat, better known
ones include the Golden Goat, the Rocky Mountain Goat, the Bubba Goat
and the
Possum Trot. In the proud tradition of Cincinnati's flying porkers,
we've decided to
call our version "The Billy Pig". Pre-registration is strongly
recommended.
Please use the entry form below. Please
note that late entrants will be subject to a
late fee and may need to mark their own map while on the clock.
A "goat" is a long distance, mass-started orienteering event. Rules
vary slightly,
but in general orienteers must visit controls in order, but may skip
any one control on the
course. There also is usually one or more "split controls", for
example control # 4 will
have two circles on your map labeled 4A and 4B. You may choose
which one to visit,
but need not visit both. Making the correct decision for
your abilities could move you
up in the race standings. The 2001 Billy
Pig will be 13 to 15 kilometers straight-line
distance, and The Piglet
will be 6 to 7 kilometers. Controls will be intermediate
(orange) to advanced difficulty. There will be a 5-hour time
limit.
A beginner level white course will also be offered, starting at 10 am.
No pre-registration is needed for the white course. White course
entry fee will be
$4 for members or $6 for non-members.
