FISU’s World University Championships – Orienteering recently released its wrap-up video for WUC 2022. Watch some fantastic forest competition shots, get a feel for the Swiss terrain, and see COC and USA Team member, Jessica Colleran, interviewed at just past the 5-minute mark. It’s fantastic to see Team USA get some coverage via a COC and WIOL member! Watch it here:

CYA Wraps up its series with Bog Slog at Lord Hill Park on Dec 31st!
The Bog Slog, now in its 43rd year, is the extra tough and extra muddy halftime race to the Winter League, and a fantastic opportunity for students who have graduated from WIOL to return for a holiday reunion with friends!
The Bog Slog concludes the Choose Your Adventure Series, which means that we are offering two mass-start, point-to-point courses (The Bog Slog & The Bog Jog) for the advanced navigators, as well as a Choose Your Adventure style race for beginners, intermediates, and trail runners! This event is pre-registration only.

Street Scramble at the Market is 2 hours and on-foot only (no 3-hour or bike option), so the course is especially compact. Expect to be able to visit a bunch of checkpoints in a relatively short distance! Also, in the spirit of giving, half of the proceeds go to The Pike Place Market Foundation, which provides vital services to elderly and low-income residents of downtown and welcomes us back each year to Pike Place Market.

See you all in two weeks.
