Additional Information
The goal of Urban Discovery is to maximize your score within a set time limit by visiting 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.
The following standard LAOC protocols will be in place at this event:
Please pre-register. $10 additional fee per person for on-site registration dependent on map availability.
Bring your own water and snacks. No water will be placed on the course. We will have water available at the assembly area.
Please take advantage of our online beginner training. If you need additional training or have questions, let us know when you arrive. On-site training will depend on volunteer availability.
Please do not attend if you are sick.
