Event Overview
We have an event here most every year, and it is one of our most popular venues, offering hills, water bodies, great urban views and an urban volcano.
There is a small parking area close to the event center, but that will probably be full. You can park to the east of that along the road, in the areas marked in purple on the map below.
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 provide one for you for a slight additional cost. Using e-punch is easy. You can learn how at the event, or read about e-punch here.
CROC also has two permanent orienteering courses at Mt. Tabor, if you would like to try this terrain on your own for free at any time. (Of course, the permanent course control points are different). See the CROC website under "Get Better > Permanent Courses" for more details.
CROC thanks our land management partner Portland Parks and Recreation.

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, handing out maps, and picking up control flags after the course closes. Typical shifts are one hour long.
If you'd like to help, you can choose a task and time shift when you register online. Thanks!

Results are posted to the Events & Results web page a few days after the event.
