About us
Orienteering is all about finding locations marked on a detailed map. Do it as a race or a fun walk in the woods. But be aware that the careful walker might outpace the sprinter by choosing the smartest route and/or not getting lost!
Our sport is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, trail runners, hikers/walkers, people who love map and navigation, and people who love to figure out problems. It's good for all ages and courses will be available for all experience levels. Free instruction will be provided.
We have events throughout all of CT (despite the name) and sometimes even in nearby locations in NY and MA. Most of our events are in the fall and spring but we do have some DIY events in the winter.
