The Greater Phoenix Orienteering Club is hosting a day of orienteering fun on Sunday, March 5, 2017. To ensure everyone is sufficiently entertained, we're offering a 2-hour Score-O at our Needle Vista event site north-east of Apache Junction. This event will include an expanded area that our club has not previously used. Further details are found below. We hope you'll consider joining us for a great day of navigation fun.

The terrain includes deep washes, rocky hills, and fairly thick desert vegetation. While you'll be able to run in some areas of the map, there are many varieties of cactus to avoid. We strongly recommend you wear your favorite type of leg protection. Water is available at the timer's table and you'll find at least one water stop on the course. You should also plan to bring a water bottle or camelback to carry with you.

People of all skill levels are encouraged to participate. A free beginner's clinic will be available for new participants and those needing a refresher. You may start anytime after the course opens at 9:00 am until 11:00 am. Everyone, competitors and recreational participants alike, must be off the course and checked into the timer's table by 1:00 pm when the course closes.

NOTE: We ask that you pre-register for this event. We will print some extra maps. However, we can't guarantee that we'll have maps for those who come to participate without pre-registering. You can guarantee yourself a map by pre-registering using the link
