Night-O at Highland Brewing Company presented by Fjallraven Asheville - "Make Friends with Winter"

Night-O in Black Mountain at Christmount Assembly will feature a mass start, two scatter course options as well as a Micro-Sprint, three-course option (the main event.)

Join us Saturday, March 18 at Lookout Brewing in Black Mountain for the fifth installment of our annual St. Patrick's Day series, O'Rienteering Meet 2023. This is a MapRun event, and is a prelude to our upcoming MapRun Monday Series, beginning in the Spring!

Join us Saturday, March 25 at a spectacular new mountain venue in Newland, NC for a day of orienteering at a working Christmas tree farm! Home of one of the country's highest rated disc golf courses, Sugar Mountain Frasier Firs boasts some of the most wonderful and varied terrain for orienteering to be found anywhere, replete with gigantic boulders and cliffs, jaw-dropping 360 degree mountain views, a combination of steep and rolling, open forest with thickets of dense rhododendron, all of which surround expanses of neatly aligned Christmas trees in all stages of growth, from saplings to towering specimens destined for places the likes of Rockefeller Center.

Returning this year for its 5th installment, the Easter Eggs Rogaine and Orienteering Races is our homage to the very first navigation race we ever produced, over a fence in a backyard that saw a dozen friends beta test a new and crazy idea that an orienteering club was worth building. Come celebrate WNC Orienteering Club's birthday with us!

FernLeaf Community Charter School is opening up their FernLeaf Adventure (FAD) Race to the public in its second year! It will be a Micro-Sprint with three random courses to be completed, each including a maze and a fun challenge station (bottle flip, disc golf throw, and cornhole toss!) Tickets are just $15 at Eventbrite and proceeds benefit FernLeaf's Adventure Sports program.
