Summer Training: There is likely to be at least one more fun and informal evening session this Thursday 8/24 at 6 pm. Contact Nils P. and check out the details here.
Aug. 27 - Horn Pond (Woburn): Ease into the 2023 fall orienteering season with a first ever Score-O at Horn Pond. Plus, the usual beginner courses are also available, so invite all your friends and neighbors to try orienteering. Two Score-O courses, one with a 45 minute limit, and one with a 75 minute limit. The object of a Score-O is to find as many controls as possible, in any order, without going over the time limit. (Points lost for overtime.)
