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.

Advanced Event at Schenck Forest on Aug 25, 2013

This event is for advanced orienteers (BOK members who have completed a brown, green, or red course). Don’t forget, you must pre-register. There will be Brown, Green and Red courses available. The courses will be a bit shorter than usual, due to expected heat and humidity: 3.7KM, 4.8KM, 5.7KM respectively, but with a fair amount of controls. Thick vegetation, spiders and ticks (take precaution) are highly probable on all courses.

The courses will be opened at 10 AM and everybody must start by noon and finish by 1.30 PM.
Help with controls pick up will be greatly appreciated!

Parking outside of the gate (as usual). No dogs are allowed (even on a leash).
