Results, Eno River (04 Dec 2022)

We enjoyed a really nice score course at Eno River. The weather was cool, with no precipitation; and the river level was relatively low. Some runners got to venture into some newly-acquired park land, including an old quarry in the far north. All in all, it was a very successful event. I designed this year’s […]

We had a good turnout for the orienteering event at Umstead South on the weekend, Saturday was lovely weather. Sunday was distinctly cooler.

Results for Radio Orienteering Nov 12, Umstead South

Eight 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.

Results for Umstead North event on November 8

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 […]

Cary Urban Orienteering 2022 – Results

We 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) […]
