Member Training: Fun in Foul Weather
December 13, 2025 10:00 a.m. - noon
Pier Park in North Portland
For CROC members only
This practice is to remember how much fun it is to orienteer, even if it’s raining and cold!
Do you know what to wear, and how to hold a compass with mittens on?
Which shoes work best in the mud?
How do you keep your map from disintegrating in the rain?
But most importantly: you can have fun with your orienteering colleagues!
There’s a mass start at 10:00 a.m. - experience the chaos of many running off while you’re trying to find north on your compass. The course is ~3.0 kilometers through an urban park with low hills, some forest, and a popular disc golf course.
We’ll treat you to cider; your cookies/crackers/cheese are optional.
This training is for CROC members only; there is no cost. Register here by December 11 and we’ll send you the exact starting point. For questions and suggestions contact trainer Anndy.
