Welcome to Orienteering

If you like being outside and exploring nature, then this is the sport for you. Using a map and your powers of observation, you'll navigate through a course of pre-set checkpoints.

Beginners are welcome, and it is not unusual to see entire families orienteering, either together or on different levels of courses.

Two deadlines approaching on Sunday! Cascade Jerseys & MoboGoGlobo!‏

Posted Mon, Mar 8, 2010

Just a reminder, we've got two deadlines coming up this Sunday!

1) The 2nd Annual MoboGoGlobo! event is on Saturday, March 27th, but the deadline for local runners to participate in the worldwide phenomenon is Sunday, March 14th. The local runners will run a 4.4km course at Seward Park without a map. The twist is that they will be paired teammates (with maps!) calling in from all over the world. Donations of at least $10 will be accepted at the event. Proceeds go toward sending our WIOL juniors to the United States Interscholastics Champs next month in Ohio. Additional information and registration can be found here.

Cascade OC Jerseys!

Posted Fri, Feb 5, 2010

Cascade Orienteering Club is now taking orders through March 14th for our brand new club jerseys, which feature our bold new competition design! (click ''read more' to get to the online ordering steps)

The jerseys feature technical fabric, mesh side panels, a front zipper, and an optional zippered back pocket for a spare compass or energy gel.  They are custom-made by Siven, an orienteering apparel company that has previously outfitted the US Team. The jersey design is intended to be paired with black pants or shorts, so it will be easy to match. Keep your existing pants, or order some now.
