Classic-O | Orienteering Rocks! at Richfield Heritage Preserve | Sunday, May 15th

Make plans to join your fellow orienteers for a fun and challenging classic, cross country event at Richfield Heritage Preserve.  We’ll also be united with thousands of orienteers world wide in celebration of World Orienteering Day 2022.

Advanced-level orienteers won’t want to miss out on this one, as our own Todd Pownell has put together a very challenging course featuring control points at many of RHP’s rock formations and providing opportunities to make quick route choices throughout.  Todd has dubbed his creation “Orienteering Rocks!”.  Additional courses will be available, covering all skill levels from novice/beginner through advanced.
