Member Training - 3 Course Challenge

• Saturday, November 9, 2024 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

• Southeast Portland

• For CROC members only

This training event offers three short courses, giving you a chance to practice the skills you've acquired this season on three different maps. The three locations, Reed College, Sellwood Park and Westmoreland Park, are very close to each other in southeast Portland, so travel time between them is minimal. 

The courses will be set by 10:00 a.m., and you have until 4:00 p.m. to do any or all of them. There will not be a trainer at the sites. You can print your own maps or arrange to get (by mail or at a pick-up site) a printed map set. Control points will be marked with garden flags. 

The courses average about 2K each, so the challenge will begin to add up if you choose to do all three. A skill to practice at each start: before looking closely at your map, look around and see where you are. "Punch" the garden flag, then look at your map, orient it, and begin. 

Bonus: a short kid's course will be set up at Westmoreland Park. 

If you're always sorry when an orienteering course is finished, and you always wish you could do another one right away, this training is for you. 

This training is for CROC members only; there is no cost. Register here by November 7, and we’ll email you the maps (or by November 3 if you want us to US mail the maps to you). For questions contact training coordinator Anndy Wiselogle.
