UPCOMING EVENTS
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.
Dec 12 - 25, 2026 Holiday Lights Score-O
Spend any evening between Dec 12 and Dec 25, finding beautifully decorated homes in South Beaverton using the MapRun® phone app to record your finds. On Saturday, December 12, the MTHD founders will be on hand to show you how to do this as well as to pass out maps, and holiday treats. Online registration is required 24 hours prior to orienteering.
Jan 24, 2027: 2027 Hillsboro Metrogaine
Now, with a completely new 30 sq km map! The Hillsboro Metrogaine is an urban competition for runners, walkers, and cyclists who will use a map to find checkpoints spread across 30 square kilometers of neighborhoods, parks, and hidden passageways. To participate in this competition, you choose to do a 1-, 2-, 4-, or 6-hour course on foot (or the 4-hour course on a bike), and you use the MapRun app on your phone or Garmin watch to keep track of your timing and the control sites found.
