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.

Director’s notes: Regular Event on September 19, 2010 at Umstead Park

No surprises for the beginning courses and Orange. There will be a remote start for Green and Red courses, both are somewhat longer than usual, but easier too.

Another twist for advanced courses: the courses are designed with a big loop (Red, Green) or as figure 8 (Brown).  Competitors are allowed to pick a direction, clock-wise or counter-clock-wise. We will have separate and combined results for both, CW and CCW.

Please, stay away from the “out-of-bounds” areas of the park that are marked with pink vertical shading.

Happy orienteering,

= Artem, Co-Director
