By Steve Haas (Registration — South Bay)
Fun courses from Matthias Kohler; great weather; fantastic turnout! A great conclusion to the six-event 2024 Summer Series. I hoped for and expected a very good crowd, but the numbers were amazing: about 265 people participated, up by 50 from the previous year. Thanks to everyone who returned their maps for re-use when we came close to running out.
The winners on all three courses had great times in this fast, relatively flat park. Kevin Cox finished first on the Beginner course, Steve Gregg got the honors on the Short course, and Yurii Konavalenko won the Long course (by a slim 5-second margin over Carl Hoel). All of the results are below, as well as the final Standings for the Summer Series.
As always, the event depended heavily on the efforts of multiple volunteers:
- Course setting: Matthias Kohler
- Course consulting: Dan Greene
- Map improvements: Matej Šebo
- Website: Chuck Spalding
- Pre-registration: Sarah Williams
- Registration and greeting: Sarah Williams, Caroline Paxson, Chuck Spalding, Dennis Wildfogel
- Beginner clinics: Julia Doubson, Dan Greene, Ouri Karni
- Starts: Graham Brew, Kat Lan
- E-punch: Jeff Lanam, Rosemary Johnson
- Control pickup: Theo Verhoeven, Tac Sugiyama, Matthias Kohler
- Other: the adult leaders of the Turlock JROTC group, for bringing a large group and helping control the crowd flow; multiple scout leaders
A big thanks to all of the volunteers, and apologies to anyone I've left off the list.

We had a great turn out to close the 2024 Summer Series! Good weather and challenging courses, even on this park that is familiar to many of us. Thanks to event director Steve Haas and course setter Matthias Kohler. We had a big showing of beginners, and our volunteers handled them smoothly.

You can see the event map with the actual routes traveled by participants, and draw your own route for comparison, in RouteGadget for this event. (Use of RouteGadget is explained here.)
In RouteGadget, you can enter your route manually or upload a GPS recording and adjust to fit our map. The following tips apply to the GPS method.
RouteGadget Tip #1: After selecting your GPX file, make sure to adjust the time offset between starting your watch at the Start line and leaving the Start Triangle. The offset can have a significant impact on your route accuracy. For most local events, the offset should be set to 0 as we start from the triangle (assuming you started your watch exactly when you started).
RouteGadget Tip #2: After uploading your GPS track to RouteGadget, you can create additional blue adjustment points by right-clicking your track. You can use these points to better align your route with the map, for example, along trails. You can delete extra adjustment points by right-clicking them.
Please tell Jeff Lanam (email) and the webmasters (email) if anything needs to be changed.
