Orienteering Raleigh NC

Backwoods Orienteering Klub, founded November 15, 1978 sponsors events and teaches orienteering in the North Carolina piedmont, around Raleigh, NC.

We invite you to try orienteering with us. Everyone is welcome at all our events. We always offer beginning, intermediate, advanced and expert courses (routes through the woods) at every Regular event.

Sprint at Lake Johnson

The Sprint event at Lake Johnson will have two courses, each approximately 2k long.

Both courses will be on the Western side of the park (West of Avent Ferry Rd). The start and finish are both off the trail close to the road. If the parking lot South of the lake is full, consider parking in the main (Northern) parking lot, take the short walk over the wooden bridge, and then (carefully) cross Avent Ferry Rd.

For information about the venue, see our directions page.

Courses open at noon. Plan to be back by 3PM and consider helping with control pickup. Please pre-register by Friday night, so we know how many maps to print.
