Open Event in South Umstead – Nov 3, 2024
We will have an OPEN event at Umstead Park (South) on Sunday, November 3, 2024.
Everyone is welcome.
Don’t forget to register and pay here . Registration is closed.
The entrance of the park is off Harrison Avenue, called the Reedy Creek entrance. We start from the lower shelter, North of the parking lot.
You can start any time between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Make sure that you finish by 3:00 PM because we will begin clearing the courses at that time.
If you’re new to orienteering, you may want to attend our Beginner Q&A at noon. Make sure you give yourself enough time to check in and pick up your map before the Q&A. In the meantime, beginners can prepare themselves by watching our introductory videos at the top of this page.
We will have all regular courses from beginner to advanced, White through Red.
Help with control pick-up would be greatly appreciated.

We will use LIVELOX so you can see your route on the map after the event, along with everyone else on your course. LIVELOX is great because you can learn a lot about route choice, and it is fun to see how others’ choices affect their runs. The easiest way to use LIVELOX is to download the LIVELOX app to your phone. Then, when you start your course, open the app on your phone, click “Start Recording,” and then “Stop Recording” at the end of your run. Later in the day, the event will be published on livelox.com, where you can select your course for viewing. Uploading your route from your Garmin or Strava account is also possible.)
