Results for the Oct-10 80m practice at CNF
We had ten participants. This event had the most interesting post-race discussions we’ve ever witnessed at one of our events. All of it regarded the possible route choices. It’s challenging to come up with new courses at CNF but trying to do so sometimes leads to some strange outcomes. Thank you to everyone who came…

Results, Lake Crabtree
We enjoyed perfect weather for our first open event of the season at Lake Crabtree park. Welcome to all of the newcomers who tried our sport for the first time — we hope to see you again in the future! Several people asked when our next open event will be, and it’s looking like it…

2021-09-12 – ARDF 2m Classic, Eno River State Park — Results.
Nine participants came out run the course. It was exciting to try Charles’ 2m transmitters in a rugged environment. There was much discussion of how reflections might come out differently with different antenna types, how power levels and terrain affected readings, and different techniques for figuring out where transmitters are given some misleading signals. Ah,…

Open Radio-O/ARDF 80m & 2m CNF – Results
We had wonderful weather. Eight participants came out to run the course. With the centrally located start, we expected many different course choices. It was fun afterward to hear how participants planned their runs. In addition to the complexity of the course, several participants went on both the 80m and 2m course, adding exhaustion to…

Results — Carolina North Saturday Fox Chase
We had a very fun “fox chase” event at Carolina North, in which competitors only received points for a control if, after each one, they returned to me, as I walked a loop through the course. As I distributed maps to competitors, I tried to warn them that it is very hard to plan an…

Dix Night Event Results August 28, 2021
It finally cooled a bit and got dark with no clouds to reflect the city lights and no moon. The parking lots and around the buildings were lit, but mostly that affected ones night vision and didn’t help finding controls. Dix is mostly open, and the controls were set so no one needed to go…

2021-08-22 Horton Grove Results
We enjoyed a small but fun event at Horton Grove on Sunday in the late-August heat. To make up for the heat, humidity, and occasionally thick vegetation, courses were slightly shorter than usual. They were fairly difficult, though, and nearly everyone came back with stories about how they messed-up on one or two controls. Many…

Results for Lake Crabtree Sprint July 11
We had a hot and humid day for the Lake Crabtree Sprint event. The forecast scattered thunderstorms did not materialize for which we were truly grateful. Most folks found the courses sufficiently challenging for a hot summer day. The runners who tackled all three courses were generally tired by the end. Lake Crabtree has a…

Results-Dorothea Dix Sprint June 27, 2021
Almost 40 orienteers braved a hot June day in Raleigh to enjoy some short, fast sprints.The early starts had the advantage of relatively lower temperatures and more cloud cover, but everyone had plenty of humidity. Those who started later got to see the Pride parade down Umstead Dr. There was one obvious mistake by the…

Results-Sprint at Bond Park on Sunday, June 13th
Apologies for publishing results so late. The weather was absolutely perfect for mid-June. We had a good number of starts. There were several interesting coincidences: Jeff and Imre were separated by exactly 16 seconds for both sprints, and Imre was tied on second place with exactly the same time by Matt. Many thanks to everyone…
