Red Rock Canyon Classic NRE Event Recap

Dec 15, 2024

The final NRE of the year took place in the desert northeast of Los Angeles, at the site of the 2022 US Nationals. This event was a great example of the use of the fee-waiver (one-day) National Ranking Events available for every club in OUSA to use once each year. This single day event featured mostly high school students, who were able to pick up national ranking points for attending what would otherwise have been just another event of their local competitive series.

2024 North American Orienteering Champs Recap

The 2024 North American Championships were held as part of the annual Canadian Orienteering Festival. The first weekend of the festival took place in Mansfield, near Toronto, with the Canadian Middle and Long Champs. The festivities then moved to Kingston for a joint COC/NAOC Sprint, followed by the Sprint Relay and debut NAOC Knockout Sprint. Another rest day before moving up to Calabogie, west of Ottawa, for the epic final Middle and Long distance races. There were several US victories (Ali Crocker took home the gold in the Middle and Long, and Joe Barrett in the Long) but it wasn’t enough to keep the Canadians from winning the Björn Kjellström Cup.
