We will have the usual New Year’s fun event at Bond Park, starting from the Buehler shelter (near the boathouse). The format is Farsta relay, which is an individual format. Each competitor runs two shorter courses, which combined will cover the same set of legs for everyone. This is achieved by having a few forks […]
Read MoreIt was a great day for orienteering. We had a huge turnout approximately 100 starts and probably more than 130 people running the courses.

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 MoreEight competitor groups (ten individuals) participated in the 80m classic course competition on November 12. Everyone located all the controls on their course, and no one was OT! That is especially impressive because it was the first time on a standard course for three of them. All the first-timers were graduates of Nadia Scharlau’s beginner classes. Congratulations to all.
