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 at Umstead Park, Jan. 25

Everyone is welcome at this event and we will have a beginners class at 12:30.  We will be starting from the south side of the park, the Reedy Creek side just off of I-40, at the large picnic shelter which is to the left of the parking lot at the end of the picnic area.  You may start between noon and 2pm, however you must be back by 3:00pm as that is when the course closes and we begin picking up the controls.

Of course you should check back at the website after 10am the morning of the event  if the weather is really bad because we may postpone the event if the weather presents a safety problem.

We will have the new, large Umstead Park map for sale for $10.
