UPCOMING EVENTS

Sep 28: White River Point-to-Point
The White River East Sno-Park event center is located next to Highway 35 at the southern base of Mt Hood. The event courses are in an area carved out by massive snow melts each year, so much of the environment is composed of many similar drainage ditches in an environment of scattered trees. We will have seven middle distance point-to-point courses (something for all skill levels) to choose from. If you camp overnight, you can spend the previous day hiking around White River West, which has many interesting areas to explore. Please note: late fees apply to registrations after 9/21/25. See the registration section of the event page for more information.
Oct 19: L.L. Stub Stewart Goat Stampede
The 2025 Goat Stampede at L. L. Stub Stewart State Park is a long-distance, point-to-point orienteering event comprising 3 loops of increasingly challenging orienteering (Loops A, B, and C) where the competitor can choose to drop one control from each loop. The three courses for this event are:
​
• Scape Goat — Loop A (~3.4 km in <= 2 hrs)
• Hill Billy — Loops A and B (~9.0 km in <= 4 hrs)
• Mountain Goat — Loops A, B, and C (~13.5 km in <= 6 hrs)​​
​
Please note: late fees apply to registrations after 10/12/25. See the registration section of the event page for more information.


Nov 2: NW Portland Metrogaine
The NW Portland urban rogaine is a score-orienteering running or walking competition where the competitor has up to 2, 4, or 6 hours to find as many control sites as possible, in any order. A map is used to find the locations of each virtual control site and the MapRun® app is used to record start and finish times, as well as the time and score value for each control found. Please note: late fees apply to registrations after 10/26/25. See the registration section of the event page for more information.
