Kings Mountain National Military Park March 1 & 2, 2025 Due to the limited parking at this location, we decided to run the meet on Saturday and Sunday, using the same courses. Since the Saturday event usually sells out weeks before the event, offering the Sunday event allowed more people to participate. It all worked […]

Another great weekend of orienteering took place at Kings Mountain National Military Park! As in the last few years, due to the limited parking available at this park, we had to limit map sales to make sure there was enough parking for regular (non-orienteering) visitors as well. Not surprisingly, the Saturday event sold out, and […]
