This year is the 25th annual Billygoat Run, and in honor of the occasion, we will be including as many of the popular items from past Billygoats as we can, including but not limited to:
 

• Following: as always with the Billygoat, following is explicitly allowed.
   

• Skipped control: another Billygoat staple--skip whatever one control you wish.
   

• Forked leg: an on-again, off-again staple of the Billygoat. This year will be an on-year. One leg will be forked, with both legs of the fork shown on the map. Your choice of which fork to take.
   

• A Saeger Loop: in the latter part of the course will be a Saeger Loop, that is, an intentional dogleg along a trail with good visibility. You'll be able to see who is immediately ahead and behind you.
   

• Goat Door Stops for Winners: the rotating and coveted Goat Door Stops will be awarded this year (provided, as we are confident they will, they find their way to the event...).
   

• Homemade Cakes or Pies for the Winners: a sort-of tradition of the Billygoat. Although given our culinary skills, this may not be one of the coveted Billygoat awards....
   

• Club Award: based on total points accumulated by a club, as determined by a unique accounting system developed, after painstaking research, by the Head Goat. Rumor has it that Style Points will figure heavily in this year's determination.*
   

• And of course--outstanding T-Shirts for all finishing in under 3 1/2 hours.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  *We have it on good authority that the Head Goat enjoys locally brewed beers. If you have a brewpub near you, you could do worse than to bring a sample of the local flavor. But in keeping with the tradition of the Billygoat, any sort of bribery or general sucking-up is explicitly allowed if not downright encouraged, and will no doubt factor into the overall determination of Style Points.
