Be sure to check out this month's Orienteer Meet because it's part of Strong B.A.N.D.S.!!

The Strong B.O.N.D.S. Orienteer Meet features two levels of orienteering skills. The introductory course is approximately 2K and encompasses sidewalks and trails close to Gruber Gym. The 5K Intermediate trail takes advantage of the clear woods and introduces orienteers to terrain in the trail system located around the urban areas.

The event has a staggered start from 8am to 10:30am. Orienteers must return to the finish by 12pm.

Please note you do not have to go the entire distance. Capture as many markers as you like and then come back to the finish for refreshments.

Finish placements is orienteering are determined (1) number of markers captured and (2) time. The introductory courses are family friendly where the terrain is mostly urban using sidewalks and low vegetation. Strollers and little tykes on bikes are welcome.

We are also dog friendly!  So, proud parents are welcome to bring their pups on leashes.
