In addition to raising funds for Ewalu, Wild Driftless is also committed to supporting local partners in the outdoors, conservation, and adventure world. This year, our first partner is the Starmont / West Central Cross Country team, who volunteered at the Motor Mill aid station, and in return we sent along $1,000 in support.

Eager to show your newfound navigational skills? Or maybe you suspect you can use a little refresher! Join us at Osborne Days with Clayton County Conservation this coming Sunday. We will be teaching navigation basics on a short orienteering course out at Osborne using a zoomed-in version of the very same map 9-hour racers navigated with last weekend.
