2023 Evening Cross Country | Boston Run in the CVNP | Friday, July 14th, 2023

Preregistration is closed

Please use Walk up registration to attend the event.

Overview

This will be a classic orienteering event, with 5 courses covering the Beginner through Advanced skill levels, in Cuyahoga Valley National Park’s Boston Run area.  Except for a handful of controls in the Python, we haven’t been there in several years, so there should be fun and challenges for all comers!

In addition, there will be a newly-updated map with courses designed by “Boulder Bob” Boltz!  Bob promises a “challenging RED course” for the advanced orienteers who are up to the challenge!

Being an evening event, it will get dark in the woods, even for the early starters.  Bring your headlamps and flashlights, with fresh batteries!

Lastly, there will be one water stop for Red, Green and Orange. White and Yellow should carry a water bottle. Red may want to do that too! Water for all at Start and Finish.
