Queen Elizabeth Halloween-O Wednesday Evening Training

Organizers: Jonah Haliburton (Event Director), Don Haliburton (Assistant), Rachel Howard (Assistant), Adam Woods (Assistant)
Map: Queen Elizabeth Park
Description
This Halloween prepare your self for a spooky Vampire-o at Queen Elizabeth Park!
For those who haven't participated in a Vampire-O before, it is basically a Score-O with a twist - two people will be selected as the initial vampires. If a vampire can tag another runner, the vampire takes the runner's score card and map and then becomes a runner - the tagged runner then becomes the new vampire. Remember, it sucks to be the vampire. Make sure you show up for the explanation/Q&A at 6:30.
There will be a map exchange for those doing the Vampire-O and a beginner (Score-O) course for those not interested in being chased through the park by fast people with red lights on their heads (the beginners have "vampire shields").
Runners in costume get a five minute head start!!
