Those not registered by Sept 22 will need to register on the day and limited numbers of maps will be available. There will be controls for all levels from first-timers to advanced so everyone is encouraged to attend. Free instruction will be provided. Join everyone for pizza after the event and re-live your successes and challenges! You can participate solo or as part of a team. If team, each member must register separately and indicate the team name and members. Only one SI stick is needed per team.

The White River East Sno-Park event center is located next to Highway 35 at the southern base of Mt Hood. The event courses are in an area carved out by massive snow melts each year, so much of the environment is composed of many similar drainage ditches in an environment of scattered trees. We will have seven point-to-point courses (something for all skill levels) to choose from. If you camp overnight, you can spend the previous day hiking around White River West, which has many interesting areas to explore.

Regular orienteering meet with White through Red courses. For more information about the course colors, see our Event Types page.

Legend of the SCARE-O. Last year two young orienteers didn't check back in from SCARE-O. Now locals tell tales of these woods being haunted by a young Darth Vader and a Mandolorian.

(And obviously check back in when you finish)

This is a semi-mass start event. Participants will have ~3 hours to collect as many points as possible on the course. Each control will have a different point value. Highest total points wins, and ties will be broken by fastest time. See our website for a full schedule and precise meet location.
Start Time is 11 AM - Finish for everyone is 2 PM

Wearing a costume earns you a ten minute headstart. (10:50 AM)
