Join the US Trail Orienteering team for Trail-O practice around Boston
There are two competitive events in Trail-O:
- Pre-O, where you solve a set of problems within a given time limit,
- Temp-O, where you solve problems while being timed.
Come try a different aspect of orienteering/map reading. This sport is accessible for those with mobility restrictions as well.
Three Days, Four Events
Friday: Fresh Pond Temp-O, Cambridge MA, 4pm-6pm
Saturday: Mystic river Temp-O, Medford MA, 10am-12am
Pine Banks Pre-O, Malden MA 4pm-6pm
Sunday: Menotomy Rocks Temp-O/Pre-O, Arlington MA, 10am-1pm
The two Temp-O events on Friday and Saturday will have 5 stations with 4 problems each. The Pre-O on Saturday has 20 controls and two timed controls, with 110 minute time limit. The Pre-O/Temp-O on Sunday has 12 Pre-O controls (70 minutes time limit), and 2 Temp-O stations with 4 problems each. Scoring is the same as world championship relay, with Temp-O times + 60 second penalty for each Pre-O mistake.
