NAVX

The 2020 Nav-X Challenge's third event brings us back to the Donner Summit area of Tahoe. We will be using an improved Topo map at scale 1:15,000.

It should be a real treat for anyone who enjoys the high country at the best time of year, whether you are looking for a scenic hike, or an endurance race against some of the best in the west! A great warm-up event for the World Rogaining Champs at Northstar on Aug. 1-2.

With the virus situation, not sure if this event will have to be cancelled, postponed, or run in a modified format. Just have to wait and see how things play out. Stay safe! Join us for 10, 7, or 4 hours of navigation in excellent Poconos terrain! Open to both solos and teams. There will be over 50 control locations to find across all four of our fully-contiguous Hickory Run orienteering maps. These maps were used for the US National Orienteering team trials and the USARA Adventure Racing National Championship. Hot food after the event, and a chance to hang out with orienteering friends, new and old, to share your (mis-) adventures. Tasty prizes for most controls found! Special coins will be placed at each control, and an additional prize will go to the person who can collect just the right coins on the course, so that their coin value most closely matches their final orienteering score.

Point Pinole Regional Shoreline - January 26, 2020

BAOC

BAOC logo
This year's Point Pinole event will feature a "one man relay". Each runner will run three loops, of approximately 1.5 km each, with a common control to punch at the end of each loop, before starting the next one. The loops will have substantial forking, in exactly the same manner as last year's three person relay. So although each competitor will have run exactly the same distance by the end of the race, the order in which each runner takes the controls will be substantially different. Each loop will have 8 controls, so the controls will arrive quickly, and the entire race will probably feel more like a "forest sprint" than a standard orienteering course.

In order to use the most technical parts of the park and avoid a lot of dead running, there will be a remote start and finish, approximately 1 km north of the usual Palms staging area (which the park is making us use this year, instead of the new second entrance). A mass start is tentatively scheduled for 11:30 AM, although be alert for changes to this tentative schedule.

This event, the 4th event in the 2019 Nav-X race series, will also serve as the 2019 North American Rogaining Championships for the 24-hr race (sanctioned by Orienteering USA). Race or trek in the Sierra Nevada mountains east of Fresno at elevations between 7000 and 9000 feet! The race area is primarily pine forest with low to moderate undergrowth, interspersed with some bare granite slab. Steepness is moderate by California standards, with some dramatic terrain and spectacular views mixed in. The map was made by Bill Cusworth in 2016 using USGS contour data combined with features derived by aerial photos such as roads and vegetation boundaries. The map is 1:25000 scale with 10 meter contours and uses mostly standard orienteering symbols but with a few new symbols to delineate the different types of granite areas from one another. Come experience the true wildness of Sierra Nevada mountains to challenge yourself, and the top North American navigators! Top finishers in each division of the 24-hr qualify for the World Rogaining Championships in 2020 at Tahoe-Northstar.

2019 NAV-X Challenge #3 - 100 Lakes - 3 or 6 Hour Map Adventure - July 27-Aug 17, 2019

NAVX

** Note: We had to move the dates because there is still too much snow on the course. ** The Sierra Nevada mountains of California are world famous for their beauty and wildness. However, almost all of the upper elevations is federally designated Wilderness and therefore forbidden for organized group events or races. 100 Lakes is one of the rare regions around 7000 feet where we are allowed to race (low impact style) and we are excited to bring you the 2019 NAV-X Challenge #3 at this beautiful venue! The race area has mostly low/moderate undergrowth and steepness, by California standards, and there are close to a hundred small lakes in the basin. The mapped area supports a map trek up to about 8+ hrs. The West part of the mapped area has some reddish rock areas, more broken up, while the rest is typical Sierra granite slabs scattered throughout. There are a few trails, though much of the advanced control points will require long stretches of cross country travel. It will be possible for beginners to string together loops that will make significant use of trails. Due to the few access points to the area, we will have a remote start/finish - plan for a 15 minute downhill walk to the Start, and then again back up after finishing (same place as the Start). A NAV-X representative will be there on race day to hand out maps and start everyone off.

2017 Tahoe Nav Sports Weekend-NAV-X Challenge #4 (3 or 6-hr Map Trek) + O-event - September 9-10, 2017

NAVX Truckee OC

The Sierra Nevada mountains of California are world famous for their beauty and wildness. However, almost all of the upper elevations is federally designated Wilderness and therefore forbidden for organized group events or races. Little Truckee Summit is one of the rare, permittable regions around 7000 feet and we are excited to bring you the 2017 NAV-X Challenge #4 at this beautiful venue! The race area has mostly low/moderate undergrowth and steepness, by California standards. The mapped area supports a map trek up to about 3+ hrs. What this means is that the 6 hr course on Sunday will do two loops through the same general area. The 3 hr course on Sunday goes through once, like a regular map trek. 6 hr participants: All course planning for both loops is done before the start of the first loop, however, you will not be able to bring the loop 2 map with you on your first loop. You may take however much time you want on your first loop, but you must return from your second loop within 6 hours, or face penalty points. There will also be 4 standard middle distance orienteering courses offered on Saturday. See http://www.truckeeorienteering.org/#sept910 for more information about Saturday's event.

The 2017 Nav-X Challenge's third event brings us back to the forests and granite slabs of Sierra National Forest (Dinkey Creek). This beautiful area has a nice variety of terrain, mostly runnable open forest and not too steep, with some interesting granite slabs and features scattered throughout. If you participated last year, we will be using the South part of the map. Mats Jansson is designing 4- or 8-hour adventures using an improved topo map. With all the snow last winter, creeks will be flowing, and there may even be a patch of snow left here and there on some shady North facing slopes. It should be a real treat for anyone who enjoys the high country, whether you are looking for a scenic hike, or an endurance race against some of the best in the west! We are limited to 75 participants by the forest ranger so sign up early to get a spot!

Locate however many you desire in any order within your pre-chosen time limit. It's a great format for both hard-core competition and casual family hiking.
