2008 Orienteering Meets

6 01 2008

With the new year rolling in many of the local O-clubs are releasing their meet schedules for 2008.  The BOK events listed under the first link are well produced meets with the most recent evolution being e-punches.  Having done the January meet at Umstead with the e-punches I heard nothing but great feedback from participants.  Also included is the Charlotte area club which produced the Dupont Bike-O and regular O-meet in the spring of 2007, having done both I can say both events were well produced and tough especially given the mountainous terrain of the Dupont State Forest.
