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.

Umstead South March 21st

The registration for this event will be at Reedy Creek Shelter #1 (that’s the old one).  Enter the park from I-40 and follow our signs into the main parking lot. We will have classic types of courses, from  White to Red as usual. The start opens at 12pm, beginners class at 12:30pm. Please, be back by 3pm.

Large groups (more than 10 people) need to pre-register to save us time and to secure enough maps for all participants.

Small factoids about the courses:

  1. Green and Red will START at the bridge, not at the shelter. Don’t forget to “Clear” your SI stick before you leave the registration area. Allow 20-25 min to get to the bridge (~0.8K)
  2. All other courses will start at the shelter.
  3. The FINISH is the same for all courses, including Green and Red.
  4. Red and Green  courses are a bit longer than usual, 5.5K and 6.8K. Brown is 3.6

See you at the start soon…
