Logan’s Run 2017
September 14th through September 17th, 2017
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!
See you there!!!
This is ONSC's biggest event of the year, and best of all it's for charity honoring Logan Monk, an ONSC member who was instrumental in the growth of this club, as his parents continue to be.
This year, as with all previous years, we have reserved Uwharrie Group Camp A, B, and C September 14-17, 2017. Remember!! Alcohol is not allowed in the Uwharrie National Forest.
EVENT SCHEDULE:
Thursday, September 14, 2017
Extra T-Shirt - $15 - order-able at online registration and at registration tent
General Raffle Tickets - $1 each or $20 for 25 - order-able at online registration and at registration tent
Quick Announcement:
This year we will again have designated trail leaders and departure times for 6 different wheeling groups. This will be done in an effort to make the wheeling portion of this event more organized.
On Saturday, there will be 6 groups, two of each difficulty level, easy, medium and hard. Friday will be the same but with one group of each level (meaning one departure time). Each group will have one trail leader and the specific trails that each group rides will be ultimately decided upon by the trail leader for that group. Groups will be staged in the middle of Group Camp in three "lanes" that will be made with cones or stakes, with the trail leader in the very front. Depature times for each group are as follows, and are flexible at the discretion of the trail leader so far as they do not interfere with another group.
Friday:
Ad-Hoc Wheeling
Saturday:
9:00am - Easy1, Medium1 and Difficult1 depart
9:30am - Easy2, Medium2 and Difficult2 depart
Sunday:
Ad-Hoc Wheeling
Therefore, I'm looking for volunteers to be trail leaders! Please post up if you'd like to be a trail leader and which group you'd like to lead!!
Saturday Trail Leaders:

***Important announcement regarding parking***
As those of you who attended Relic Run know, the center grass area at Group Camp has been closed. According to the USFS, "The central grassy area is closed. We are trying to get it rehabbed after damage by other groups.". We have been told that it was "other groups" who caused the damage. The USFS has not been specific as to who caused the damage, citing "other groups".
I've spent the last three weeks talking USFS, Donald, Terry, and the ranger Michael, trying to get them to make an exception for us to use the center grassy area, considering our excellent track record. Unfortunately, after the three of them met yesterday at Group Camp to review the site and came to the decision quoted above. There is nothing else we can do.
As such, we are going to be enforcing restrictions on parking.
1. Absolutely NO vehicles are to be in the center grass area at ANY TIME.
2. Tow rigs, car hauler trailers and campers/RVs are to park in the open grass area at Site B ONLY.
3. If there is no more room at Site B for your camper/RV, tow rig or car hauler trailer, you will need to park it somewhere outside of group camp, such as the Eldorado Outpost.
IF you have a camping trailer such as a M416 or 4x10 trailer (@jamesurq ) you can park wherever you find a spot.
Everyone, please do not be greedy with the space you take to set up your campsite. We're going to have a lot of people.
