Join us for a fun and family-friendly morning of orienteering and games in Robinswood park on June 6th! All registration fees for this event will be distributed to Cascade’s student athletes attending the European Youth Orienteering Championships, Junior World Orienteering Championships, and World University Orienteering Championships this summer. These athletes all got their start in Cascade’s WIOL series, and have trained hard to earn their places on the teams representing our country at these international events. We want to show them our support by hosting a celebratory day of orienteering and fundraising!

Team up with yourself for an Individual Relay at Lincoln Park next Saturday May 2. This is a mass start event! It’s also an individual relay. Depending on your class or which course you signed up for, you will do either 2 or 3 legs. However, not everyone will do the legs in the same order, so make sure you check in before the start to find out which permutation you will do. Please note the times for the check-in (9:00-10:00 am) so that the check-in volunteers also can start on time. Thanks!
The start will be close to the south (#2) parking lot at Lincoln Park. If that lot fills up and you need to park in the north (#1) parking lot, please walk on the sidewalk south on Fauntleroy Wy SW to the south parking lot and the staging area. Please do not walk through the park from the north parking lot to the staging area because that is through the competition area.
More info on the event page. Register here before the end of Wednesday 4/29.
