Event overview
Come join CROC on the banks of the Clackamas River at McIver State Park near Estacada. Our easier courses will be generally flat, but expect to do some climbing and occasional bushwhacking on green. (No worries, poison oak and stinging nettle can be avoided.)

McIver State Park is a 1,680-acre state park with many miles of trails winding along the Clackamas River. The park is very accessible, yet large enough to give participants a feeling of "getting out there." There is a nice mix of paved paths, open grass, and wooded areas. The terrain is both flat and hilly.  Most of the orienteering route choices will include trails due to thick vegetation. The advanced course will be designed with the challenge of multiple route choices for most legs, and will be a little longer than typical.

* All teams must check out through the course finish gate before leaving the park, even if the team does not finish the course or returns after the course closes.

Courses
    White: beginner (about 2 Km, 8-10 controls, easy, on-trail and near-trail navigation)
    Orange: Intermediate (about 4 Km, 10-12 controls, some off-trail, mostly on-trail navigation)
    Green: Advanced, 7 Km, 20+ controls, mostly off-trail navigation.

Epunch will be used on all courses.  Rental fee is $1.
