2026-06-23 Marquette HS Results

Mid-summer in Saint Louis often means high humidity and/or thunderstorms…and we’ve seen plenty of that this season. But it was a somewhat comfortable summer evening at Marquette High School, home of the Mustangs. And with the nice weather, we had lots of people come out and join the fun.

The campus is fairly open, but there are some surprises…dark green (dense vegetation) and large fences, walls, and multi-level buildings…which might be on the map but not super easy to read when you’re in the field. There were also sports practices to dodge and the new turf football field construction that was on-going.

The results are divided into 1) the “Sprint” course for those that went in order and found them all, 2) the “Score-O” for those that got them in any order or missed some (not sure if everyone got the message about the 45 minute time limit, so results are sorted by name), and 3) “Sprint Round 2” for a few that went out a second time to see who was faster than a Mustang.

If something is incorrect (for example, you punched but it didn’t register), let me know. – Mark Geldmeier mgeldmeier@earthlink.net.

4. Kirkwood Permanent Course

This course is a little different. There are no markers. Instead, you use a clue sheet and once you have navigated to the correct location, you have to answer/identify the question/item on the clue sheet.

If you would like to post your time, please send an email to contourline@stlouisorienteering.org and we will post it. Please send us a link to a GPS track, with your time, the date, distance, and the name(s) of those who completed it. You are welcome to run this as many times as you would like.

2026-06-09 Queeny Park Results

It was the most humid day of the summer so far. But that didn’t keep two dozen intrepid explorers from roaming the fields, trails, ponds, and parking lots of Queeny County Park. Z setup a score-O type course and gave us 45 minutes to find as many as we could. An additional challenge was no clue sheet…and the CP markers ranged from traditional flags to bare stakes, and even a couple of punches hanging only from a string! Orienteering is always an adventure. Thanks for coming out and having some hot & crazy fun.
