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.

Open Event, Schenck Forest, Sunday 14 August

We will have an Open event at Schenck Forest.

Please register before midnight Friday, August 12 so we can print the proper number of maps.

We will have the usual assortment of courses: White, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Green, Red. You can start any time after 10AM – this is our typical summer schedule as an attempt to benefit from the cooler morning temperatures.. Courses close at 1PM, so please plan accordingly.

We will offer a class at 10:30AM.

Registration and map pickup will be at the shelter

The park prohibits the presence of dogs, even on a leash.

The park has notified us of the extensive construction happening around the park. The typical access road is closed for paving, so we will need to access the park through a temporary parking area. If traveling from Wade Avenue going North on Edwards Mill Rd., you will need to make a U-Turn at Reedy Creek Rd and follow the bandwidth.com construction site/park entrance signs for parking. See the image below and follow our own signage in order to get to the shelter.

We will very much appreciate any help with control pickup after the event.
