The event starts at 10.30 am and everybody must finish by 2.00 pm.
We will have all regular courses from beginner to expert, White through Blue. Expert courses will have a remote start.

Registration will close Saturday morning.
We will have a beginners Q&A session for regular orienteering as needed starting at 11:30. There will not be beginner instruction for radio orienteering.
If you are new to orienteering we recommend that you check out these short videos to prepare for the event.
We will use Livelox so you can see your route on the map after the event along with everyone else on your course. 
This is great both because you can learn a lot about route choice, and fun to see how others’ choices affected their run. The easiest way to use Livelox is to download the Livelox app to your phone. Then when you start open the app on your phone and click “Start Recording”. Then after the event, at 2:00, the event will be published on Livelox.com and you can select your “Class” which is the same as your course. Then you will be offered the event to choose so you can see your and everyone else’s routes. (You can also upload your route from your GPS watch.)
We had a fantastic turnout, over half the Radio Orienteers in the United States came to the event from as far away as Oregon, and almost everyone ran all four events. I set up the event while I had Covid, and was finally negative the morning of the event. Saturday we had 80m, Sprint, and […]
