Join the Arctic Orienteering Club for four days of spectacular Alaska orienteering and experience the long summer days in a land of rugged beauty! Check the festival website for maps and photos. -- The first event is on Wednesday evening (June 25, 2025) in Anchorage. It's a forest sprint through a natural orienteering playground of convoluted topography created by the 1964 earthquake. Short and long course versions of this butterfly-style race will be run on multiple loops intersecting at a central control point. Think great spectating and exciting competitor interaction! -- The Saturday (June 28, 2025) event at Willow features open forest visibility, unique pockets of labyrinthine meadow and thicket navigation, and very interesting terrain with few linear features. This venue is sure to challenge your orienteering skills. This is a National Ranking Event (NRE) sanctioned by OUSA. -- The Sunday (June 29, 2025) event will be a long/extra long classic in a spectacular alpine venue. Use your medium to advanced navigation skills as you traverse the delightful lowland tundra and ascend into hanging valleys with incredible wilderness views. This is what Alaska orienteering is all about! -- Depending on the weather, some of the locals may be camping near the alpine venue. If you would like more information, please email the registrar or ask the staff at the Willow event. -- The final event will be on the following Wednesday evening (July 2, 2025) at Mirror Lake. This classic forest event with White to Red courses features mostly open birch and spruce forest with lots of low ferns for ground cover.
