November 16th Member Appreciation Party and Annual General Meeting
At the Quimby Lucky Lab in NW Portland, CROC recognizes all of our great members and volunteers for making another fantastic O-year!
Join us for a free score-O event, pizza, salad, and (no host) beverages.
The Annual General Meeting will give an update about the state of the club, the slate of nominees for the upcoming CROC Board elections and plans for next year.
As part of the Annual End of Year CROC festivities, we're having a casual urban score-O (just for fun, no results) on the 2023 Kings Heights map. Stop off at the Lucky Lab to grab a map, try your hand at the short score-O course, then come back for free salad and pizza, yummy beverages, and sharing tales with your fellow CROCers. We’ll be using the MapRun app on your phone this year. Find all the info you need about MapRun below.
Help us and the Lucky lab get ready for the party!

MapRun - Orienteering using your phone
An exciting new way to enjoy orienteering has arrived in the last few years; you can go orienteering using your only your phone.
MapRun is a phone app that can let you download an orienteering event and run it. To participate, you need to downloaded the MapRun app (available from Google Play or the App Store) to your phone. For best results, you should use the latest MapRun version. There’s even a MapRunG version intended for Garmin fitness watch users.
Unlike traditional orienteering courses where you find orange and white flags set the day of the event, this course uses permanent objects such as fire hydrants, yard art, and signs. You get a map with about 20 marked checkpoints and with the MapRun app, you will locate each point and the app will log your find. While the MapRun app is preferred, there will be an optional paper and pencil option with multiple choice questions for those that prefer.
