A Message to our Membership and Orienteering Friends:
- Outdoor activies, including Orienteering have some inherent risks, and we ask that you assume those risks when you are out and about. These risks include both physical hazards, such as the rocks, stick and logs in our parks, as well as a risk of catching something from another person outside, including Covid-19.
- For a more isolated orienteering experience - our Permanent Courses await you any time*. (*Check with the specific park for their opening hours.)
- We also will continue to respect local COVID regulations - see specific event information for anything uncommon or changed vs. the new-normal expectations.
- Mask usage: Please continue to respect other Orienteers & Volunteers who have different COVID strategies than you do. At our registration, check-in and download areas in particular, please be respectful and keep your distance and/or wear your mask if they are masked.
- Starts: When you register for a specific start window, please aim to arrive in that timeframe. It helps spread out starters, and ensures participants don't have to wait very long to get out on their course.
- Online-pre-registration: watch for the deadlines a day or two before the event. Pre-registration ensures there will be a map available for you, and is significantly discounted vs. day-of rates.
- If you miss the pre-registration, onsite registration is generally available (without the discount), and you can check with the Event Director to confirm.
- Should you have any questions regarding a specific event, please feel free to click on the event director to clarify any specific needs you have.
