On Saturday, June 27, we will be holding a Sprint orienteering event at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh. You can start any time between 10:00AM till 12:00 noon, and everybody must finish by 1:00PM.

The start and finish will be near the gazebo on Umstead Drive (35.771244, -78.661292), 125m West of Hunt Dr.

All skill levels are welcome. If this is your first time orienteering, please consult our instructional material.

Please be aware there are controls around the cemetery, which is out of bounds. The cemetery has pink bars on the map and has physical white posts on its border. Please be respectful of the cemetery. Do not run inside the white posts; even to cut corners.

There have been significant changes to the park in the past year, and there’s active construction. We did our best to update the map with the new fences, but there is a high possibility the map is still incomplete.

There will be 2 sprint courses of approximately 2.4km each. You will be able to run any or both of them in any order.

There will also be a Map Explorer course, with all controls. You can navigate this course at your own pace, pick up controls in any order, and as many as you like. The only requirement is to be back by course close time (1:00PM).

You must register here for this event before Friday, June 26 at 5 PM.
