Event Overview
Enjoy a brisk winter orienteering meet at Memorial Park in Wilsonville, on the banks of the Willamette River. There are blackberries. Long pants / tights / lower leg protection is highly recommended.
CROC thanks our recreation partner Wilsonville Parks.
We use an electronic scoring and timing system known as “e-punch” Each entry or team needs to have an e-punch stick. If you don't have your own e-punch stick, we’ll give you one for free with your clothing donation. Using the e-punch is easy. You can learn how at the event, or read about e-punch here.
New to orienteering? Welcome!
Our events are open to both members and non-members. Beginners, families and dogs are welcome.
Have a look at our “New to O?” webpage, which covers just about every question you may have.
You can compete as an individual or as a team. Maximum team size is six people.
At most events, we offer free beginner clinics (they take about 10 minutes) to teach you everything you need to know. These are typically at half-hour intervals; choose your time slot on the registration page.
If you'd like to get reminders about upcoming events, sign up at our newsletter page. (No more than a couple of emails per month, we promise!)

Volunteers
All CROC events are put on by volunteers, and the meet director can almost always use some extra hands. Please keep in mind:
No prior experience is needed for many of the tasks
You can help out AND still run your course of choice
Typical ways to assist are: helping with starts and finishes, checking in folks at registration, and picking up control flags after the course closes. Typical shifts are about one hour long.
If you'd like to help, you can choose a task and time shift when you register online. Thanks!
