How Much Does it Cost?

(Updated July 8, 2005)

BAOC is a non-profit organization run by volunteers. Event fees cover the costs of making and printing the maps, park permits, insurance, and other event-related expenses.

The following table shows BAOC's standard event fees. Every participant (including members of groups) receives a copy of the map. Rates may vary for special events (http://baoc.org/faq/events.php), such as score-Os, goats, rogaines, motalas, and A-meets (although the rates below generally apply to recreational courses at A-meets).

The event fees may also be seen on our standard entry form (http://baoc.org/pdfs/entry_form.pdf)¹, which you may fill out in advance if you wish.
