Event Format: Score-O lasting 90 minutes (1.5 hours). Numerous controls are placed over a large area. Use skis, snowshoes, boots, or shoes to locate as many as you desire in any order within the time limit. It is a great format for hard-core competitors who might finish in less than 90 minutes and for casual hikers who will enjoy the extra time.
Location: Cazenovia Park in Buffalo; check-in location is the Tosh Collins Community Center within the park, near the corner of Cazenovia Street and Abbott Road.
Time: Check-in starting at 11:15 AM; course start by noon. Participants must complete the course by 1:30 PM.
Course: Single Score-O format course with 16 controls. Map scale is 1:5,000 and in 5 colors. Note that there is a significant penalty if the course is not completed within 90 minutes.
Cost: This event is free, but participants must register and have a waiver on file.
Donations: We will be collecting canned goods and other personal items for the community center’s food pantry. You can view a list of items for which there is particular need at
