Fort Tuthill

On Sunday, September 16, we're hosting a Score-O at the Fort Tuthill County Park. Fort Tuthill is located next to Coconino National Forest south of Flagstaff and is an excellent place to escape the late summer heat in Phoenix. Please note that we're also offering a beginner's clinic, sprints, and a Night-O on Saturday too. Click here for information about Saturday's events.

The Score-O will take participants in and out of the hills and washes in the Fort Tuthill Park. The vegetation is mostly open pine forest with some areas of thicker brush. Don't worry, our maps highlight areas where there's a higher concentration of vegetation. Participants have up to two hours to visit as many "destinations" as they can.

You may start anytime after the course opens at 9:00 am until 11:00 am. Everyone, competitors and recreational participants alike, must be off the course and checked into the timer's table by 1:00 PM. The penalty for arriving after the 2-hour limit (or after 1:00 PM) is 10 points per minute. Participants who arrive back at the timer's table after 1:30 PM are marked as "DNF" (Did Not Finish).

We hope you'll consider joining us for an excellent opportunity to escape the summer heat.

In order to promote pre-registration for our events, the Club has implemented a new pricing structure. Participants who pre-register for the event will benefit from our priority pricing. While on-site registration is still available, pricing for on-site registration is more expensive. In addition, we'll print some extra maps for each of our events, but we cannot guarantee a map for those who do not pre-register.

Pre-Registration
Pre-Registration is open until Wednesday, September 13 at 11:59 PM. After the pre-registration closes, you can still try your luck and register on-site. We will have pre-printed maps for everyone who pre-registers. We cannot guarantee a map for those who register on-site.
