Your Adventure Starts Here!

Hosted by the Miami Valley Orienteering Club

Event Director: Scott Lefgren [email protected]

Join us for a fast-paced, fun, and family-friendly orienteering adventure! Perfect for beginners, seasoned navigators, runners, hikers, and first-time explorers alike.


đź§­ What Is Orienteering?

Orienteering is an outdoor navigation sport where you use a detailed map and compass to locate checkpoints across varied terrain. It combines strategy, speed, problem-solving, and exploration—think of it as a real-world treasure hunt!


🗺️ How It Works

Participants have up to two hours to find controls on the course of their choice:

• White – Beginner

• Yellow – Novice

• Orange – Advanced

• Green/Red – Elite

We provide everything you need:

• High-quality course maps

• Chip timing

• Loaner compasses

• One-on-one beginner instruction



Own the Terrain. Master the Map.


🌧️ Rain, Snow, or Shine!

Dress for the weather and come ready to run, hike, navigate, and explore. The adventure goes on in any condition!


🌟 Choose Your Challenge

Whether you’re racing competitively or enjoying a leisurely scavenger-hunt-style walk through the park, this event has something for everyone.

Test Your Skills. Trust Your Compass.
