It was a great day for orienteering on June 3 at Bond Park – sunny and warm, but manageable.  Runners had their choice of four separate maps (Beginner: 1.6km, Sprint A: 2.6km, Sprint B: 2.7km and “The Whole Enchilada”: 5.3km).  Sprints A and B had shortcut options that allowed runners to make a 2.0km course.  …

Perfect day for orienteering. We were really lucky that the rain ended on Saturday. It was the first time we used this start location at Carolina North and it worked out very well – we’ll do it again in the future. The courses weren’t particularly difficult, but overabundance of features on the map made it…

  Last Sunday, 12 orienteers were drawn to Dorothea Dix park in Raleigh to try their hand at two urban sprints. In the NC Piedmont, orienteers are so accustomed to forest maps that are predominantly white (open woods), with scattered bits of green (vegetation) and black (rock & trails). So when competitors first turned-over the…

On Sunday March 11, 18 advanced orienteers braved the rain and unseasonable cold to explore the west side of Umstead. Three courses were offered on one map, so competitors could choose to switch courses in the middle of their run.  The course was tough and exacerbated by the rain which limited visibility, especially for those…

Very nice day for orienteering. It was cool inside the shelter, but just right for the run. We had a good turnout (and ran out of White and Brown maps!) Runners on Green and Red courses went deep into rarely used portion of the park. Some of them came with their feet wet 🙂 Special…

  Sunday was a near-perfect day for orienteering, and BOK held its first public event at Eno River State park. We offered six point-to-point orienteering courses, and two Fox-O score courses for radio orienteering. An enthusiastic group of beginner, intermediate and advanced orienteers enjoyed their courses, and nearly everyone completed their course successfully. Thanks to…
