Join the St. Louis Orienteering Club’s “flashlight” meet at Kirkwood Park. Designed for all ages, meet at the Lion’s Amphitheater and see how many check points you can find using your map and compass. Registration begins at 7:00 p.m. and the 45 minute meet starts at 8:00 pm with a mass start. There is a teaching session prior to the meet and awards following. Bring a headlamp or flashlight and a good sense of adventure!

Note: This event is park of the Kirkwood Greentree Festival. Yep, it’s on the official schedule. So, the park will be busy. The amphitheater is in the center of the park off Amphitheater Drive (appropriately named).

The SLOC Board spring board meeting will be held at the pavilion directly following the event. (~7:30 pm start) The Board meeting is open to all SLOC members and you are encouraged to attend and participate. At meeting, the business of the club is discussed and decisions are made – everything from creation of new maps, club merchandise, educational opportunities to support the community, and our financials. If you are interested in how the club operates, want to be more involved, have ideas that can make us better, please plan on joining us. It’s pretty casual – bring chairs or a blanket and your favorite beverage.

Who are the Board Members?

Join us for the start of the Summer Sprint Series. As we get closer to summer, we move our events to smaller local parks sprint events which are intended to be shorter in length with more fine grained navigation.

Registration Open

For this event, there will be two separate sprints. Everyone can participate in both.

The first will be a traditional sprint – a point to point course that is designed to have winning times between 15-20 minutes. If you are walking the course, it may take as long as 40 minutes.

For those of you who know the race director, he sometimes experiments with other formats during the summer sprint series. This course is only for fun, and the exact details won’t be revealed until the event itself. But – you should bring your GPS tracking device for this event – your Garmin, your Apple watch, or even your phone with an app like Strava or LiveLox.

AND there is more: The SLOC Board spring board meeting will be held at the pavilion directly following the event. (~7:00 pm start) …. See more detail here

Date/Time: May 5, 2026 – 5pm first start (move up if you want to get both sprints in before the board meeting) Last start, 6:45
