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.
