I (Mihai) apologize for posting the results so late. The event was run in parallel with a NJROTC event in the same area of the park. The advanced courses reused some of the controls set by Dave for the other event, which made the organization much easier (thanks Dave!). Also, not having seen the controls […]
Read MoreWe had a perfect day for orienteering and exploring the streets (and quite literally, the backwoods) of Cary and Morrisville. Thanks to everyone who came, it turned out to be a fun event. Apart from a couple of minor issues (such as new Halloween decorations, that were not there when I scouted for control locations) […]
Read MoreFor the third (sub)urban orienteering event in Cary we return to where it started: North Cary Park. There will be a 2 and a 4-hour category. Additionally, a bike option is also available.Note that this event isn’t a regular orienteering event. In particular, this wouldn’t qualify for scouting merit badges. Registration All participants need to register online […]

Read MoreIt was a great day for being outside. The event went well and everybody seemed to have fun. Of course, people got lost, and had to repeatedly chase “the fox” (aka Tanya and me). Some people even managed to ran out of the map :). Next time maybe we should switch direction of the “fox” […]
Read MoreOver fifty orienteers came to Umstead park on Sunday for our first open event of the 2022/2023 season. The weather conditions were rather unpleasant, with a dew point of 74, and occasional light rain. Because we were expecting even more participants, I designed a fairly large, sprawling event, including a rare “blue” course that covered […]
Read MoreThe turnout was good for this warm, humid summer night O; 32 starts with a few being teams of two or three runners. The JROTC cadets from Carteret County boosted the numbers and hopefully they made it home safely and not too late. Runners had 60 minutes to complete the course for 100 possible points. […]
Read MoreWe had a very mild summer day for our event at Schenck Forest – the cooler temperatures and the lower humidity were much appreciated! A few participants had so much fun, they decided to go for seconds (running a second course). Some observations: Courses White and Yellow: the control descriptions were not printed textual. Courses […]
Read MoreThere was a strong showing of eleven beginners, and two intermediate-level radio orienteers, on this warm, humid, July morning. A few Radio Orienteering experts were also on hand. The beginners worked as a group, walking together, learning the basics of operating an 80m direction-finding receiver. For simplicity, all beginner participants used identical R3500D receivers. With […]
Read MoreSummer events are often short sprint courses held before noon as a way to deal with potentially oppressive heat and humidity. We couldn’t have predicted when we scheduled this event that we would enjoy temperatures in the upper sixties, and a (mostly) refreshing drizzle. Despite our runners’ ability to go further, the short courses and […]
