Local Schedules | National and Regional Schedules US Championships and O' Festivals | USOF Standard Entry Form Int'l Schedules | Major Int'l Events | Related Events Local Schedules Hundreds of local orienteering meets are held throughout the United States each year. They are held in state parks, national forests, town recreation areas, and other sites with easy access. Along with traditional foot orienteering, many club schedules also include special orienteering events—such as ski-O, canoe-O, and mountain bike-O—and some clubs offer trail-O, a form of orienteering geared for people of all physical abilities. Local orienteering events are inexpensive, casual, and open to everyone. Most offer several different courses, from string-O for toddlers to advanced courses for experts—and beginners' instruction is always available. To find out more about events in your area, check the schedule of the club nearest you.
