EVENT OVERVIEW
On the banks of the Willamette River, Memorial Park has a wide variety of terrain in a fairly small area. It's relatively flat, making this a good course for those new to the sport.
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, the rental cost is included in your registration fee. Using e-punch is easy. You can learn how at the event, or read about e-punch here.
CROC thanks our recreation partner Wilsonville Parks.
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.
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!)
Thanks for coming out and trying something new, we think you'll like it!
START WINDOWS
For this event we’re using assigned 30 minute start windows between 11 AM and 1 PM. This spreads participants over the entire two hour start window instead of a big rush at the beginning, easing the workload on event volunteers.
Please choose your start window during registration. The earlier you register, the better chance you have of a preferred window. If you arrive early for your start window, you may be asked to wait. If you're late, no worries, we’ll allow you to start when we have an opening. It's a guideline, not a firm rule.
COURSES
White (beginners and kids) about 2 km, navigationally easy, all on trails
Yellow (novice): about 3 km, navigationally easy, mostly trails, with simple route choices
Orange (intermediate): about 4 km navigationally more difficult with route choices
Green (advanced): about 5 km, (off trail navigation) most elevation gain with more challenging route choices. Leg protection is recommended.
TIMES
Beginner clinics 11:00 am and 11:30
Course starts: anytime between 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Course closes: 3:00 pm
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.
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!
