Permanent Courses: Some clubs have worked with local parks to set up permanent markers and courses, providing navigation practice when competitive events are not available. Clubs that have set up one or more permanent courses are indicated with this symbol:  permanent course  (some include a direct link to their Permanent course listing). For more information about locations of these courses and obtaining maps, contact the local club. Other locations are listed at the bottom of the page.

If there is no club in your local area and you want to find out how to start one, see Starting an Orienteering Club on the Club Resources page. The Club Development Director in your region can also help you get started.

View clubs' non-profit information on Guidestar.org .

E-mail: To send email to a club, click on the name link (Javascript needs to be activated). If this method does not work for you, copy the address given in parentheses (type or paste into your mail system, deleting spaces and substituting the "@" symbol for "at").

NOTE: Updates to the club information on this page should be sent to the USOF webmaster, USOF membership chair, and ONA.
