The format is ScoreO / Rogaine.Bring your flashlight or headlamp (and a backup) and join us for orienteering in the dark at McAuliffe Park at part of the Baird Creek Greenway just off Hwy 43 in Green Bay. This year’s fall event will feature a Night Score O or Night Rogaine "Rugged Outdoor Group Activity Involving Navigation and Endurance" .
What is Night O? Using a detailed, pre marked topographical map, navigate to a number of flags via map, compass and headlamp.
Similar to Adventure Racing, controls will be scored for difficulty with easy and more difficult control locations.Format:
Mass start. You will not need to punch start, just go when we say go. Navigate your way to as many of the 25-30 checkpoints as you like/can for 90 minutes.Flags are worth the 10s column, eg 47 = 40 points, 62 = 60 points.When you get back, touch the finish flag and the registration table will tell you your time.All flags will either have reflective stripes or be supported by reflectivity - if you get within 10 m, you won't miss it - no circle hunting planned.Approximately 5 checkpoints are White-ish, 5 Yellow-ish, 5 Orange-ish, 10 Red/Green/Brown-ishStraight line / crow flying distance to clear is hovering in the 5-6 km range. We expect a handful to clear in its current form.Recommended gear: Light (flashlight or headlamp) with a spare battery. Cell phone in case that fails. Compass. Long pants, long sleeves, buff for head temperature regulation.Timeline

LiveLox.comRace Report: Night Orienteering; a beautiful night and a dedicated group of racing orienteers from Madison, Wausau,, Milwaukee and Green Bay.
Thanks to Baird Creek Foundation for supporting the event and the afternoon training and the City of Green Bay for hosting.
We handed the maps at 6:15pm and the racers prepped by planning their route to controls for about the half an hour before they gathered at 6:50 for a race briefing. Racers headed out after the horn blast at 7pm.
Conditions were warm and dry.
Tim B. had a blistering fast time clearing the course in under one hour. Andrea Larson followed by clearing the course in under an 1 hour and 20 mins. Our other participates did well clearing over half the course not going over the time limit of 90 mins; there were no time deductions.
The course setting and planning was done by Green Bay Endurance Adventure Racing Team. We had several great responses to this course the format.
Thanks to our Fall 2024 community supporters: Rachel's Cookie Creations, Odyssey climbing, Ivy Yoga, Performance Chiropractic, Runaway Shoes, Wisconsin Adventure Racing Series, Rosati's pizza, and Broken Spoke Bikes
