SPU is a private Christian university straddling the steep northern foot of Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Though the campus is small, it packs a punch in both navigational complexity and physical challenge.

Note: Samples of the map are provided here for educational purposes only; the map shown here is not kept up-to-date. The course shown is a Beginner/Intermediate course, and actual controls do not exist in the terrain.
The purpose of providing these navigational and physical ratings below is to provide greater context for how challenging an orienteering course at this venue might be. For example, anĀ advanced-level course at a local city park will be easier to complete than an advanced-level course in the mountains.
