Fun in Foul Weather
December 14, 2024 10:00 am mass start
Pier Park in North Portland
For CROC members only
This practice is to remember how much fun it is to orienteer, even if it’s raining and cold!
Do you know what to wear, and how to hold a compass with mittens on? Which shoes work best in the mud? How do you keep your map from disintegrating in the rain? But most importantly: you can have fun with your orienteering colleagues.
There’s a mass start at 10:00 a.m. - experience the chaos of many running off while you’re trying to find north on your compass. The course is ~3.0 kilometers through an urban park with low hills, some forest, and a popular disc golf course. And if we’re lucky, we’ll get to see a train go through!
We’ll treat you up with cider; your cookies/crackers/cheese are optional. We’ll meet in an open shelter.
