This event was a one-day National Ranking Event (NRE) and also served as the NJROTC Area 21 Championships. Events like these promote a higher level of competition for regional competitors without the extra work and expectations of a full NRE weekend.

Stumble Weekend 2025 consisted of a Middle National Ranking Event (NRE) and
Susquehanna Stumble XXV. The Stumble is a long distance mass start event with a twist: competitors run between most controls in normal sequential order but occasionally enter a “window” where several controls can be visited in ANY order.

Classic courses in beautiful northeastern forests with fall colors. This was a one day NRE.
US Orienteers were treated to three days of high-quality orienteering in the Boston area, capped by a delightful city sprint during a nor’easter.
Grizzly Orienteering invited orienteers to enjoy some warm fall weather in the Bitterroot Range of Montana. The first day was a middle distance NRE in steep terrain with intricate rock details. The second day provided tremendous contrast to the first, with open forest and broad hillsides.
