Brian Thompson (who won the Red course) recorded his run on a camera. The video (with occasional inline comments) is available here. Check it out, it’s very cool! Vladimir

It was a great day for orienteering, the first truly “Spring” meet. Some people even said that it was too hot! We had a good turnout and quite challenging courses. Yellow course led people off trails and deep into the woods and advanced runners got a chance to explore rarely used eastern part of the […]

Thanks to everyone who came to the event! The weather was perfect and we had a chance to see a lot of birds (including a flock of woodpeckers) visiting the clearing near the shelter. The courses proved to be rather difficult (at least judging from the result times). Two controls gave most difficulty to the […]

The event will take place in South Umstead (take Harrison avenue exit from I-40 towards the park).

Park you cars on the big parking lot as usual, then walk back toward the park […]

Comments Off on June 1 event start location

Thanks to everyone who came to the event! It’s gratifying to see people come so far away from home to compete in an orienteering event. Birkhead Wilderness is our most remote location (1.5 hours drive), but it is also one of the most beautiful and interesting ones. If you weren’t able to come this time, […]
