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.

Sprint Event at Lake Johnson

This is a sprint event at Lake Johnson. Everybody ready to do orange is welcome. No beginner’s class will be held. Don’t forget, you must pre-register for advanced events by noon on Saturday.

Please note that, because of the heat, we will start at 8AM, and courses close at 11AM.

Park in the lot on the south side of the lake on Avent Ferry Rd. If the lot is full, park on the north side parking lot and use the pedestrian bridge to walk to the start. Don’t park along the side of Avent Ferry Rd, since you will probably get a ticket.
