Sat Jan 03, 2026    Old City Philadelphia Urban Orienteering    Score-O  Training  This event has been confirmed with park officials
 
Event Director: Joey McGarvey
Course Setter: Ian Whitehead
Pre-register Here or Check Who's Registered
Notes: Join us for the third winter series of Mailbox Madness, offering urban sprint orienteering training in Philadelphia (and environs). The Old City edition will begin in the late morning, with a start in the center of Washington Square Park. Mappy Hour to follow at National Mechanics Bar & Restaurant for those who are interested.

Events follow a Score-O format, with (mostly) mailboxes instead of control flags. Tag as many mailboxes as you can in 60 minutes—pace and route choice are up to you. Scoring is unofficial, on the honor system, though the map will be on the Usynligo app. Note that urban running involves risk. Please cross streets safely and carefully.

There will be a mass start at 11 am; arrive fifteen minutes early (10:45 am) to collect your map and plan your route.

Advance registration is $5. Day-of is $10. More Info on Mailbox Madness
Directions: Start is in the center of Washington Square Park (between 6th and 7th Streets just south of Walnut). Street parking can be challenging to find in Old City, so please give yourself some extra time if you’re driving. There are multiple parking garages, but these can be pricey; we believe you’ll have the most luck finding more affordable street parking east of start, between Washington Square Park and the Delaware.

Notes: President's Cup
Directions: Park entrance is from PA 232 (Second Street Pike). Within the park, take the second right to reach the parking lot.

ED/CS Notes:

As usual, the President's Cup is a non-standard event.  This year there will be a few different courses to choose from (2km to 6km), and up to 60 controls to find - though if you do things right, you'll have to find far fewer.

Briefing at 10:45am.  Mass Start at 11am.  (Individual starts available, 11:05am-11:30am.)   Controls pickup starts at 1pm.

More info here - in the theme of Carmen Sandieg-O.

Thanks to Course Setter Ian Whitehead for the novel format idea and implementation!

Directions: From PA Rt 1 take PA Rt 896 south toward Newark, DE and watch for O'-signs, or from I-95 take DE 896 North to park.

ED/CS Notes:

Course setter Glen Lewis has designed three courses for mountain bike orienteering at White Clay Creek State Park in Delaware.  There will be short, medium, and long courses to provide bike orienteers of all skill and endurance levels with appropriate challenges.  The course specifications are listed below.

Start and finish will be near the park’s main parking lot located off Route 896, just north of Newark, Delaware.  All courses will be on trails, tracks, and/or roads.  All controls should be accessible while still on bikes.  There will be no controls in the woods.  The medium and long courses will include both sides of White Clay Creek via available bridges.  We are hoping for (but cannot guarantee) warmer weather and arrival of early Spring.  Course conditions and any further information will be updated closer to the event.

            Starts open at 9:00 a.m.

Bike-O participants are strongly encouraged to ensure that they, or their bikes, are equipped with rear-facing blinking lights for safety.  The portions of the courses on roads will have motor vehicle traffic with which to contend.  We will have a few Autopilot Map Boards available for loan on a first-come, first-serve basis, but having your own would ensure you will have a solid place for your map.

Please note that State of Delaware park entry fees will be in effect for both in-state and out-of-state residents.

ED/CS Notes:

We are debuting a super-cool new map by Petr Hartman! 

Event will have a middle + sprint format to best take advantage of this unique terrain.

 

Full course notes and distances here.

 

Please note, that while there will be water available at the finish of the middle and start of the sprint, there will not be water available on any of the courses. Please carry your own if you think you will need it.

 

The property was previously a quarry and cement plant and the map contains many remnants of human activity that make for fascinating and unique orienteering.  There are many cliffs of various sizes created by the quarries and a substantial number of ruins related to the cement operations.  Many of the ruins are factory-sized buildings that we are able to run through, making for terrific sprint terrain.  The lakes filling the old quarries give the site a special beauty.  Overall a very cool place to experience!

Notes: NEW MAP: First Day of Issue

ED/CS Notes:
General map/course notes:
- There is a creek that winds through the park; it is NOT crossable.  Some leg lines cross over the creek but this does not mean you should!  Please do not cross the creek.
- There are many steep, rocky slopes.  They are slippery and, in many places, unstable.  Please use caution.
- Due to a tree disease, sections of white woods are becoming more semi open.
- There will NOT be water at any controls on the courses.  Please plan accordingly and carry your own If you think you might need it.

All courses will be printed at 1:7500 except for Red and Blue, which will be printed at 1:10,000.

If you have time, and the weather cooperates, check out the view of the valley from High Rocks after the event.  It is a short walk from the small parking lot on the northern edge of the map.

Pre-register Here or Check Who's Registered
Notes: Brendan Byrne State Forest has the distinctive terrain of the New Jersey pine barrens, with sandy soil, pine and oak forest, and subtle topography. You will need to read the map closely, using gullies, mounds, and low hills for navigation. Vertical slash on the map indicates low blueberry and other undergrowth, which is still crossable at a fast pace. There are not many thorns. The mapping is very accurate. Be warned that sometimes dry gullies look like trails and vice versa. Also many features mapped as mounds might look like rootstocks, and vice versa. The Jersey Devil is known to roam these parts, so be on the lookout!

Additionally, note the inclusion of a Non-Competitive 60-Minute Score-O option, based on feedback received over the fall that some beginners prefer the Score-O format to a more competitive standard course. This will be on the all-controls map; it does not count toward rankings and is intended only for those who don't wish to do a standard course.
Directions: NJ Rt 70 East of Medford NJ to Four MIle Circle, the junction of NJ 70 and 72. Follow Orienteering signs from there.

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.
