The crew at Wolf Pack Adventures is excited to bring you this unique event along the beautiful Little Miami River. Run as many 5K loops as you can in 6 hours at John Bryan State Park!
Complete at least four loops to officially complete the race. You do not need to run for 6 hours. You can run for as long as it takes you to run four loops.

🌕 Sturgeon Moon Urban Night-O – Yellow Springs
Hosted by: Miami Valley Orienteering Club
Event Director: Sarah Berna
Public streets and sidewalks within the Village of Yellow Springs and Antioch College.
Step into the night for a fast-paced urban orienteering adventure under the Sturgeon Moon! This event is designed for all experience levels—first-timers, seasoned navigators, runners, hikers, families, and friends.
🧭 What Is Orienteering?
Orienteering is an outdoor navigation sport where you use a detailed map (and optionally a compass) to find checkpoints scattered across the terrain. It’s part strategy, part speed, and part exploration—think real-world treasure hunt, after dark.
🗺️ How the Sturgeon Moon Hydrant Hunt Works
Format: Score-O (find controls in any order)
Time Limit: 1 hour
Goal: Find as many controls as possible
Scoring:
Each control = 5 points
1-point penalty per minute over the time limit
What’s Provided:
High-quality course maps
Reflective controls with manual punches. Loaner compasses
🌆 The Course
Teams or individuals will navigate 20 controls spread throughout the Village of Yellow Springs and the historic Antioch College campus—urban streets, pathways, and campus scenery all come alive at night.
🌧️ Rain or Shine
Dress for the weather, bring your sense of adventure, and be ready to run, walk, hike, navigate, and explore—whatever your style.
🌟 Come for the Challenge. Share the Experience.
Whether you’re chasing points or soaking in the night-time village vibe, this is a must-do Yellow Springs night-life experience.
🌕 Let the hunt begin!
