Event name: Mendon Adventure Race - Around the pond - once, twice, thrice!

The event was changed after the Summer Empire State Games for 2013 were put on hold. The Mendon Adventure Race will challenge competitors around the Hundred Acre Pond (at Mendon Ponds Park). The Paddle segment will traverse that pond as well as the neighboring Deep Pond. The Peddle segment will take competitors around the pond to the far corner of the park, neighborhood roads, and the nearby Lehigh Valley and Fishers Landing Trail systems. The Pod (foot) segment includes the varied glacial terrain surrounding the ponds. The Adventure Race will consist of each of the three segments in whichever order desired. Competitors may choose to mix-n-match, one, two, or three of the segments with or without teammates. All segments begin and end at the Pond View Shelter. Each loop will allow 10 minutes for competitors to punch finish, download, refuel for next loop, clear, get a map, punch start, and begin the next loop (penalty of 1 control per minute of overage). Competitors must arrange for their own bikes and watercraft. Because the legs may be ordered as desired, it may be possible to share. Competitors may not leave on a new leg after 3:00 PM. Current segment course information: peddle - TBD length, up to 20 controls, expected winning time: 1.5 hours. paddle - 3.5km, 11 controls, expected winning time: 45 minutes. pod-le - 9km, 23 controls, expected winning time: 1 hour. Each is a score-O format. The winner will be the competitor with the most controls in the least amount of total time. It is expected that multiple competitors will reach all controls. Similar to Score-O formats, one control will be deducted for each minute past the 6 hour deadline. Participants that just want a foot orienteering challenge can head out on the foot course - which has a number of controls nearby for a shorter experience. In addition, a 1km, 6 control introductory course will be available.
