2019 US Trail O Nationals


Happy Trail Orienteers gather after the TempO

The New England Orienteering Club recently hosted the 2019 OUSA Trail Orienteering Nationals. Phillips Academy - Andover Campus provided a mix of campus and park style terrain for the TempO on Saturday. Rock and contour detail were the challenge for the PreO at Houghton's Pond on Sunday. Afterward we enjoyed a get-together with NEOC foot-O members at their annual meeting and picnic.
The wildly different terrains kept the participants thinking.
