DF Exercise: Fox Hunt at Garfield Park
Sat 07-06 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Df'ing exercise to be held at Garfield Park in Indy.
The group will try something new; instead of a mass attack on the fox, each team (individual) will start alone, in 5 minutes increments, so that groups do not follow each other. Fastest time wins! What? I don't know!
Just interested in fox hunting? Come and join in. You can walk with any team and learn as you go. -
