Welcome to the Choose Your Adventure Series

Here's our brand new series! In 2011, this is a three-race series, with events at Seward Park (August 24th), Woodland Park (September 17th), and Chinook Land on Whidbey Island (October 2nd).

In this late summer and early fall series, each race puts everyone on the same map and same course. It's up to you to choose your adventure and pick whatever route you'd like! Experienced orienteers will know this style of event as a "score-o", but we're giving it a new name.

The Choose Your Adventure Series is meant to be fun, social, and beginner-friendly. Everyone starts together, so run head-to-head with your friends or against your rivals. Who will find the most checkpoints within the time limit? Who will run the fastest? This format is also great for beginners, too! With many checkpoints along trails and open areas, you'll be sure to find a lot! And if there's one that's hard to find, don't worry, you can skip it and keep going. (As always, free beginner instruction is available beforehand, too!).

For the advanced navigators, the races will be a challenging exercise in find the most efficient and optimal route to try to get them all!

How do I sign up?

Pre-registration is NOT required. Just show up on event day and sign up. Since there's only one course offered at each event, everyone is eligible for Series points.

Scoring

Each race will have a maximum score of 500 points, with a penalty of 10 points per minute late after the time limit ends. For those who clear the course and finish early, there will be a 1 point per minute bonus!

Your best two scores from three races will be used for your Series score.
