After a blast of early-season snowfall swept through the area region early Saturday morning, our Thanksgiving O-meet was forced to take an unplanned pause.

The tornado of May 2025 passed through the western and northern portions of Forest Park, toppling or damaging nearly a thousand trees. Meet Director Bryan Niehaus designed an orienteering event that respectfully recognized this tragedy by using only the rootstocks of fallen trees for the check points. Course options were a shorter point-to-point course with…

Thanks to all those who came out for a beautiful evening of Orienteering. The Sprint courses were designed side by side with emphasis on the correct control cluster.
