UPCOMING EVENTS

Sep 13, 2026: 2026 White River East
[Backup venue: Skyline Sno-Park)
The White River East Sno-Park event center will be 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 drainage ditches surrounded by scattered trees. We will have seven point-to-point medium distance courses (something for all skill levels) to choose from. If you camp overnight, you can spend time the day before exploring the White River West Sno-Park, where we recently hosted the final event of the PNWOF.
Oct 4: Stub Stewart Goat
With a newly expanded 2.3 square-km map, the 2026 Mt Hood Orienteering Goat Stampede is a long-distance, point-to-point orienteering event at L. L. Stub Stewart State Park with 3 distinct courses, where you are allowed to drop one control of your choice:
• Scape Goat: Scape Goat: ~ 3 km beginner/novice course
• Hill Billy Goat: ~ 5-6 km intermediate course
• Mountain Goat: ~ 9-10 km advanced course


Nov 8, 2026: 2026 NW Portland Metrogaine
The NW Portland urban metrorogaine is a score-orienteering running or walking competition where the competitor has up to 1, 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.
