  • 2024-05-28 Broemmelsiek Park

    Sprint #1 of the Tuesday evening summer series.

    A “sprint” orienteering event just means the courses are shorter than usual.  You don’t have to sprint…you can also walk, stroll, or gallop.  It’s just not going to take as long.

    This event will take place at Broemmelsiek Park in St. Charles County near Defiance, MO. Entrance is from Highway DD.

    Meet Director: Yvonne Deyo

    The new map of Whitecliff isn’t ready. But that gives us the opportunity to explore the sculptures at Laumeier County Park. Use the west entrance (not the main entrance).

  • 2024-07-23 Forest Park Sprint

    Sprint #5 of the summer series.

    There will be two sprints that every can participate in.

    The first will be the traditional sprint format, with a basic point to point course and an expected winning time between 20-25 minutes.

    The second … well .. the second will be more interesting. You will need a partner and a way of communicating with each other. (mobile phone call with each other, maybe bring headphones?, or walkie-talkies?) As usual, the second never really counts toward anything competitive – only for fun.

    Meet Director: Bryan Niehaus

  • 2024-08-06 Eureka Bike O

    Sprint #6 of the Tuesday evening summer series.

    Back by popular demand after a one year layoff (to hold a paddle O) the bike O in Eureka returns. This will be an urban feel without any single track, unless the bike park gets its face lift completed in time. Need to finalize the start location but it will be in the old town area again to allow for libations afterward in the true “happy hour” spririt of the summer series. Ride whatever bike you want, families encouraged. This will be a Score O course with tiered options suitable for every level. There will be a special challenge on this year’s course too.

    Please register in advance (not open yet) to help us plan. Same day registeration starts at 5:30pm with starts to follow. No starts permitted after 6:45pm. Course closes at 8pm. There is a one hour max on time with penalty points starting after 60 minutes.

    Meet Director: Nathan Graves
