BOGGS MOUNTAIN – The Bay Area Orienteering Club will host a three-day A-meet open to all orienteers May 1 through 3.

The event will feature the 2009 U.S. Team Trials, where our Team that will compete at the World Championships in Hungary in the summer will be selected.

There will be a sprint on Friday, May 1, at Spring Lake Regional Park (http://www.sonoma-county.org/PARKS/pk_slake.htm) in Santa Rosa; a medium-distance course on Saturday, May 2, and a long-distance course on Sunday, May 3, both of which will be at Boggs Mountain State Demonstration Forest (http://www.boggsmountain.org/SF_Explore.htm) in Cobb.

The latter two events are designated as World Ranking Events, which means the M–21+ and F–21+ classes will earn world ranking points.

There will also be a standard A-meet for all classes held concurrently with the Team Trials. And there will be recreational courses available on all three days.
