The open sprint at Bond Park scheduled for April 30 has been cancelled as the park is not scheduling events for that day. “Spring Daze Festival is that weekend in Bond Park on Saturday and we are not scheduling anything on Sunday in the event that we need to use that as our rain date […]
Read MoreWe had a lovely, if cool, day for orienteering at Lake Crabtree today. The courses were compact and we used the Motala format for green and red where the course consisted of two loops with a map exchange between them. This allowed more controls in a smaller area (a denser control set) without crowding either […]
Read MoreFor the past few years, we have had a weekend of stunningly spectacular orienteering and camaraderie on the NC coast in early February. This year we are planning this weekend to be later — March 11 & 12 — hopefully to capitalize on weather that is agreeable enough to camp overnight on Shackleford Island between […]
Read MoreWe had a good turnout for the orienteering event at Umstead South on the weekend, Saturday was lovely weather. Sunday was distinctly cooler. A few folks showed up for both days, either just for orienteering, or for both ARDF and orienteering. We had some minor concern about the courses for Orange and above being a […]

Read MoreRegistration for this event is closed. On Sunday, 06 February, we will have a 90-minute score course and an intermediate-level (yellow) course at Cliffs of the Neuse State Park.

Read MoreWe had a hot and humid day for the Lake Crabtree Sprint event. The forecast scattered thunderstorms did not materialize for which we were truly grateful. Most folks found the courses sufficiently challenging for a hot summer day. The runners who tackled all three courses were generally tired by the end. Lake Crabtree has a […]
