DVOA Event Schedule

We use online preregistration for all of our events; pre-registration costs less than registering on the day of the event. Links to register are listed below. Deadline to register is normally the Thursday before the event.

Event fees (preregistration and day-of) are listed in the DVOA pricing sheet.

Walk in day-of-event registration may be available unless otherwise noted, but map/course selection may be limited.

See below for a note about risks you assume while orienteering, including Covid-19 information.

Notes: Standard White (beginner) through blue (long advanced) courses, plus an extra kids activity.
Directions: North on I 95 to the intersection with I 295. Follow I 295 East and exit at exit 8 and go west on PA 332. Go straight 4.7 miles, and in that stretch 332 becomes Route 413. Where Rt 413 makes a sharp right turn, you will instead be turning left at that light into the main Park entrance. Watch for O-signs.

ED/CS Notes:

Starts 10:00AM - 1:00PM     Control Pickup 2:30 PM

Join us for a full set of standard courses at Tyler State park.  We will be using a relatively small area of the best terrain, so expect a lot of quick legs with a few longer route choices thrown in.  And map flips for everybody!

For younger kids there will also be a control scavenger hunt on the playground.

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 costs less than registering on the day of the event.
  • If you miss the pre-registration, onsite registration is generally available at day-of pricing (see the DVOA pricing sheet), 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.
