St. Louis Orienteering Results

Livelox for Middle Course: https://www.livelox.com/Events/Show/176121/Meramec-Middle-2025 It was rainy and chilly all day in the St. Louis area which made it hard to jump in the car and head down for a night of orienteering and probably wet camping. But for those that did, the drizzly, wet, and foggy woods were mystical. Night orienteering is hard.…

It was great to see everyone that came out to West Tyson! A good mix of long-time orienteers along with some new faces. The weather was sunny and warm (maybe a bit too warm). But after too much rain the previous weekend and some cool days during the week, no one was complaining about the…

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it out to the O-Fest at beautiful Beaumont. The weather was awesome and so were the hills! We had a good turnout. My apologies to all the intermediate course participants. We didn’t intend to make the Green course that difficult but it turned out to be…

Tame the Dragon provides a great challenge for the fastest racers while also giving beginners (and everyone in between) the opportunity for an epic navigation adventure. With 8″ of snow falling earlier in the week, followed by bitter cold, the woods were a winter wonderland. On race day, early morning temperatures in the teens warmed…

You just never know what kind of conditions you’re going to get at the first event of the year…sometimes it’s mild, sometimes it’s muddy, last year we had sub-zero temperatures. This year we had ice! The snow in the woods was compacted with a tough icy layer on top and the trails resembled bumpy bobsled…

With rain brings them to life, their function suddenly apparent and stunningly simple. The normal still and patience of the woods, the chatter of…

WOW! What a beautiful and fun day in the woods.  Mother nature provided some bonus weather for this year’s Turkey-O but the snow only added to the fun for more than 70 participants.  Adding a 3rd course at the last min also some of the Advanced course racers a couple of extra challenges to deal…

Thanks to Jeff and Carrie Sona for putting on a great event at Cliff Cave. There was a little rain, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the adventurers that attended. And yes, there were costumes.

Wow!  A big thanks to everyone that came to Jefferson Barracks County Park on Saturday.  We had 121 total participants that enjoyed a warm mid-October day at the park.  It was a little crazy and chaotic, but wonderful to have the park full of so many orienteers.  A good mix of old-timers, new faces, and…
