The event is a Score-O course with landmark based question punching.

Registration opens at 9:30am. Mass start at 10:00am. Late starts available until noon but you will not get full two hours if you start after 11:30AM.

Time Limit – TWO HOURS or 1:30pm, whichever comes first.

The goal of Urban Discovery is to maximize your score within a set time limit by visiting mapped control locations. Instead of punching physical controls, you answer simple multiple choice questions based on interesting city features that are visible at the control locations. Read the course setter notes to understand how the points will work for this event. 

The Belmont Shores neighborhood is fairly flat and includes residential, commercial, and beach and park areas.

We will have a mass start at 10:00am. Participants are welcome to start late, but course will close at 1:30pm.
