UPCOMING EVENTS

Sep 13, 2026: 2026 Skyline Sno-Park
[Replacement for 2026 White River East Sno Park)
The Skyline Sno-Park event center is located by Highway 26 south of Mt Hood (8.8 miles south of the junction of Highway 26 and Highway 35). This event occurs in a forested area with only three vehicle tracks and a few temporary trails marked with orange pin-flags for the beginner and intermediate courses. This event includes seven point-to-point courses (something for all skill levels) to choose from. The courses for this event have similar specifications to the previously planned White River event. If you camp overnight, you can spend time the day before the competition exploring the Frog Lake or Timothy Lake areas, both of which have campgrounds.
This venue replaces our previously planned event at White River East, which is at a location that is currently still closed by the US Forest Service while they fight the Grasshopper fire. We are saving the White River East courses for you to enjoy next year.
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.
