Kings Mountain National Military Park
March 1 & 2, 2025
Due to the limited parking at this location, we decided to run the meet on Saturday and Sunday, using the same courses. Since the Saturday event usually sells out weeks before the event, offering the Sunday event allowed more people to participate. It all worked out well and we had a good turnout both days.
We all heard about Hurricane Helene, but few of us expected to see so many fallen trees driving into the park. Fortunately, not all of the park has as many fallen trees as there are along the road, but there were plenty of obstacles to climb over or go around on the courses. There were a lot of comments like “this was tough”, but everybody had a good time anyway.
The weather was very nice both days, Saturday even on the warm side with the temperature getting up to about 70 degrees, but Sunday was a lot colder with the temperature barely reaching 50 degrees and a cold wind blowing.
A special thank you to the Kings Mountain National Military Park staff, especially Bruce Eash, for their cooperation and willingness to let us go ahead with our event even with all the damage in the park and some of the backcountry trails still officially closed.
I had lots of help to run the event these 2 days:
- Saturday: Stephen Morris agreed to help and then brought out his girlfriend Kim who handled start/finish all day – thank you! Dan Davis for helping with instructions and what ever else was needed; Jess Greer for assisting people with LiveLox and together with Anita Edgemon for helping to pack up all the equipment and load my car; CAPT Charlie Gibson and his Mooresville NJROTC unit for handling the JROTC start/finish.
- Sunday: David Alexander, instructions and control pickup; James Sisk, general help and control pick up; MSgt John Davis and his Crest HS AFJROTC unit handling the JROTC start/finish; Matthew Getz and Sergei Zhyk control pick up. Thank y’all for your help, it was very much appreciated.
