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.

Regular Event Dec. 5, 2010

We will have a REGULAR event at Umstead Park, Camp Whispering Pines.  Everyone is welcome, and we will have an introductory class at 12:30.  The event starts at noon, and the course closes at 3pm.  Enter the park from I-40 and follow signs to the Camp.  Please only park on the RIGHT (South) side of the entrance road to the camp.  We will have 6 courses from beginner to advanced, White through Red.

We will need someone to help us end the event.  Ruth & I have a commitment in the afternoon, so we can run registration and teach the class, but will have to leave by 1:30, so we need someone to take over to make sure everyone returns and pick up the equipment.  Call Joseph at 828-6068 if you can help with this.

Mike Madigan designed the courses with help from Ruth and Joseph.  Artem is setting the controls.  Joseph & Ruth are doing registration and class.  We need a volunteer to run finish and pick-up.
