Join us for our annual meeting at the Saltfire Brewery Company at 530 W Broadway Road in Tempe. We'll provide pizza and drinks for attendees. Pre-registration is required so we know how many pizzas to order.

Join us for the second winter series of Mailbox Madness, an urban sprint orienteering training series in Philadelphia. The Bustleton edition will begin in the late morning, with lunch/Mappy Hour to follow, for those interested, at the Georgian Bread restaurant.

Events follow a Score-O format, with 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. 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.

Registration will close at the end of the day (11:59pm) on Wednesday, January 8. The cost of the run is $5.

If there are any extra maps, late registration or walk-up can run for $10.

Please join us on January 11th at Cedar Hill Park.

The Golden Goat and Golden Kid event returns!

What a great way to start the new year off, with a tour of the scenic Tamarancho scout camp located in the hills west of Fairfax. Mikkel Conradi is designing the courses.

The Golden Goat, and the shorter Golden Kid, is a mass-start event, traditionally emphasizing long and hilly courses with some deviations from traditional point-to-point orienteering.
