No Cascade Club orienteering this weekend, but Mergeo is offering Street Scramble at the Market- 2 hours and on-foot only (no 3-hour or bike option), so the course is especially compact. Expect to be able to visit a bunch of checkpoints in a relatively short distance! Also, in the spirit of giving, half of your entry fee goes to The Pike Place Market Foundation, which provides vital services to elderly and low-income residents of downtown and welcomes us back each year to Pike Place Market.
Online pre-registration will close on Thursday, December 9, at 11:59pm.
Cascade Orienteering Club Discount: Members of Cascade Orienteering Club may take off $5 by using code COC#member

Signed up to race at Green River College? Miss discussing your route choices with your orienteering friends?
Join hosts Will Enger & Patrick Nuss at 8 pm on Sundays following Winter League orienteering events. Together, you’ll talk about the race courses and interesting route choices. What worked well? What didn’t? How can you learn and improve for next time? Bring your questions, tell us about your races, and hopefully, you’ll learn a few tricks to become better orienteers!
These are open to all ages and courses, both public and school league. Register here!
