Quick Info
The Course: Urban Score-O. A Score-O is an orienteering event where you have a set time period (here two hours) to find as many points as you can, in any order you want.
The event will use MapRun, a free app you will need to download to your phone before the event. Get it at Google Play or the Apple App Store.
Times: Map handout opens at 8:30 am. Mass start at 9:00 am. Courses close at 11:00 am. The early start is to run in the cooler part of the day.
Everyone welcome: members, nonmembers, families, pets, and youth groups.

Event overview
This event is in a new location for CROC located just 15 minutes from downtown Portland. It goes through 3 parks and some very hilly neighborhoods and includes trails, open grassy areas and a creek. Our start will be at Cedar Mill Park located adjacent to Cedar Mill Elementary school.
Map notes
The southern part of the map is well suited for a wide range of ages and fitness levels.
The northern portion of the map has neighborhoods with limited connections to one another.
The road on the north and west edges of the map are not safe to run on so controls are placed in the hope that participants are not tempted to use those roads. One exception to this is the southernmost block on the west side of the map.
