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.

Preliminary note about February events at the coast

We have been approved for events on Saturday, 06 February and Sunday, 07 February at Shackleford Banks and Ft. Macon, respectively. At this point, we feel that the only thing that would disrupt these plans would be severe weather that causes cancellation of the ferry to Shackleford. Details about these events should be available soon on this website; but if you want to attend, it’s time to put it on your calendar and think about lodging for that weekend.
