Events NEOOC Orienteering Score Updates

Sunrise-O | Score at Richfield Heritage Preserve | Saturday, June 1st – Mass Start at 9am – Courses close 11:30am

Please join us for this early start time event on Saturday June 1st at the beautiful Richfield Heritage Preserve.   Formerly the home of  the Girl Scout’s Camp Crowell Hilaka and the Kirby (vacuum cleaner) estate, this venue truly honors its past.

  • Registration begins at: 8:30am (to 9:30am)
  • Mass start at: 9:00am
  • Straggler starts til: 10am
  • Time limit: 90 minutes
  • Courses close at: 11:30am

This will be a Score style Orienteering event where controls are visited in an order determined by the Orienteer.  Controls are assigned different point values depending on their difficulty to find and distance from the finish.  The idea is to get as many points as possible within the time limit.  Come back before your time limit is up, since there are point penalties for those who are late.

A Beginners’ course and some instruction will be available for those who want to give this sport a try.   More experienced orienteers will enjoy some challenging checkpoints on the score course in the mix of open woods and more challenging areas.  Creeks, ravines, small lakes and ponds abound.   Click the link below for directions to the Richfield Heritage Park.
