  • 2024-05-28 Broemmelsiek (tentative)

    Sprint #1 of the Tuesday evening summer series.

    A “sprint” orienteering event just means the courses are shorter than usual.  You don’t have to sprint…you can also walk, stroll, or gallop.  It’s just not going to take as long.

    This event will take place at Broemmelsiek Park in St. Charles County. It’s listed as “tentative” while we secure permits.

    Meet Director: Yvonne Deyo

  • 2024-06-11 Queeny (tentative)

  • 2024-07-23 Forest Park Sprint

    Sprint #5 of the summer series.

    There will be two sprints that every can participate in.

    The first will be the traditional sprint format, with a basic point to point course and an expected winning time between 20-25 minutes.

    The second … well .. the second will be more interesting. You will need a partner and a way of communicating with each other. (mobile phone call with each other, maybe bring headphones?, or walkie-talkies?) As usual, the second never really counts toward anything competitive – only for fun.

    Meet Director: Bryan Niehaus

    Sprint #6 of the Tuesday evening summer series.

    This will be either a bike or paddle orienteering event. Location TBD.
