Controls #72 and #73 were switched on the Yellow course, which resulted in some justified confusion among the competitors. #72 was removed from the results, so if you […]

Comments Off on Results for July 8, 2018 event at Dorothea Dix Park

Perfect day for orienteering. We were really lucky that the rain ended on Saturday. It was the first time we used this start location at Carolina North and it worked out very well – we’ll do it again in the future. The courses weren’t particularly difficult, but overabundance of features on the map made it […]

Very nice day for orienteering. It was cool inside the shelter, but just right for the run. We had a good turnout (and ran out of White and Brown maps!) Runners on Green and Red courses went deep into rarely used portion of the park. Some of them came with their feet wet 🙂 Special […]
