We picked an earlier start time (on a Saturday!) in an attempt to beat the heat. I believe the heat still won overall. The park is a bit challenging, with all the construction going on. A lot of fences had to be mapped, and even within the week of the event there were significant changes […]

Read MoreMemory-O was a success and proved to be a real challenge for orienteers. It turned out to be less about speed and more about strategy, confidence, and spatial memory. No one managed to clear the course, though several people came very close. Decoy controls also played their part. In the end, Brian Thompson and Matt […]

Is that why it takes 3 days to set out all the courses? Of course the two Radio-O controls that had problems were the furtherst out, so many […]
Read MoreHot and dry conditions greeted about 50 regional orienteers on Sunday to one of our historically lesser-used venues, Raven Rock State Park. The park’s distance from the Triangle and its aging map have, over time, rendered it a once-per-year orienteering venue. All that changed on Sunday, as we unveiled a brand new map of the […]

We had good turnout with several walk-in families exchanging their planned trail hike for a much more exciting orienteering course 🙂 Huge thanks to Matt Craig, Mirabel Shafrath-Craig and Alan Morris for helping with controls pickup. Tatyana and […]

We had 25 starts, and it was great to hear that several participants were visiting this preserve for the first time. This 285-acre peninsula, located […]
