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.

Expert event: Eno River, Quarry (new map)

Registration for this event is closed. (Because we need lead time to print maps for a Sunday event.)

We will have an event that debuts a new map of the quarry area of Eno River State Park on Sunday, November 14. The event is open only to expert orienteers (i.e., those who have completed a brown, green, red or blue course) and we have to limit the number of registrants to 30 because of the limited available parking at this venue. When you register, sign up for one of three 30-minute time slots (noon, 12:30, or 1:00). Registration page is here. When a slot has 10 registrants, it will no longer be available. Registrations must be submitted before 5:00 PM on Friday.

Park at the Cabe Lands Parking lot (GPS coordinates = 36.039762, -78.990328). With respect to Covid safety, please wear a mask around the parking area, and try not to crowd the start. Tentative course lengths are: brown: 3.7km; green: 5.5 km; red: 7.0 km
