Join us on Sunday, December 6, 2015 just west of Lake Pleasant on the Carefree Highway only 13 miles west of I-17. This site has great terrain for orienteering and beautiful vistas of Lake Pleasant.

The goal of the Score-O is to find as many controls as you can in any order. You will have a maximum of three hours to get back to the start/finish point; otherwise, penalty points kick in. Points are assigned to each control based on difficulty and distance away from start. The challenge is to maximize your score through strategic route planning. Two washes allow you to get back to start easily if you wander around too long.

People of all skill levels can participate. Just finding a few controls can be satisfying. Help for
beginners is available. You may start anytime after the event opens, but everyone must be back to
start by 2 pm when the event closes.

Note to Beginners: If you'd like to learn some orienteering basics before coming out for the big Score-O, please consider joining us for our beginner's events on Saturday, December 5 at Papago Park. See the Papago Park details for more information.
