Results for Dorothea Dix Sprint, May 9 2021
On May 9 on Mother’s Day we had our first open sprint for this year. The event didn’t start as well as I planned, because in the morning there was a 5k running race, and park was closed for cars and I could not start putting controls, that’s why the start was late and I…

2021 Cary New Year’s street orienteering results
After a wave of showers forced us to postpone the event, we managed to hold it on January 2 instead of January 1. The weather was somewhat dry, but a bit colder than expected. Still, 22 runners/teams attempted the challenge, some running full steam, others walking, jogging or pushing their kids in a stroller. There…

2021 New Year’s Urban Street Orienteering in Cary
Registration is now closed. Update on Dec 31: as expected, I’m looking at a steady stream of showers over Tennessee, heading East, with a 60% chance of rain in Cary tomorrow morning. That is the worst possible forecast I could get now. But, it looks like Saturday morning will be a perfect day instead. So, instead…

2020-11-22 Umstead North results
Thanks to the park management at Umstead, we were allowed to hold an expert event with limited capacity at one of our favourite locations. The weather turned out to be perfect, the woods were wide open, and the courses were tricky. The terrain allowed for some fast running, but a small mistake could cost runners…

Carolina North results, March 1, 2020
We had a near perfect day for orienteering, except for two things. One is that the event director (Lina) got sick by Sunday morning. Luckily, Joseph and Ruth offered to run the event for her so Lina only had to set things up in the morning. The other incident is a little more worrisome: one…

Cary street-o results
On the first day of proper autumn we had about a couple dozen competitors taking to the streets and greenways of Cary and Morrisville to find 48 controls (including the race director’s house). Many of them decided to use a combination of biking and running: with the exception of two controls everything was reachable by…

Cary (sub)urban Orienteering – October 5, 2019
Last minute updates: The weather is looking great, in fact, this might be the first really pleasant weekend of the fall! I couldn’t have planned it better. A compass is not necessary, but could be useful. Bring a pencil for writing the answers and a highlighter to plan your route. Make sure to show up…

Results Saturday – ARDF 2m (adult) and 80m (youth) championship
On Saturday we had two events: 80m for the youth and 2m for the adults. The adult 2m course turned out to be quite challenging, a lot of competitors came back with fewer controls than they had been assigned, a few even went overtime. The 80m course was easier. Results are below. Tonight we’ll have…
