Come learn the thinking person's sport. Learn the basics of orienteering.

NEW AUDIO! Brian Brinkerhoff, of backcountry-magazine.com, interviewed Suellen, May 2009, about orienteering. Listen to her interview on orienteering.

The Salt Lake Tribune recently wrote about us! May 2006 article. Or, read the 2002 Salt Lake Tribune's article on orienteering.

What does "Time 10 to 12" mean? Well, we stagger the starts so that people on the same course aren't all going at once. So, start time from 10 to 12 means you can show up anytime between those hours to begin your race. And, if several beginner teams all come at 10, team 1 starts at 10, team 2 at 10:05, team 3 at 10:10, etc. To avoid the 10:00 rush, come and start your race a bit later! You can expect to finish about an hour later, and we usually start removing the race controls about an hour and a half after the last time.
