Check out Mike Eglinski's video of his run at the Kill Creek Sprint event complete with video (no sound) and active-map. You can follow his route with what he saw on the map and what was really in front of him. The video even orients the map for you (beginners: this is Orienteering 101). Good armchair orienteering.

Have you heard that OK and PTOC are hosting a national orienteering event on March 9-10, 2013? We're very excited to welcome orienteers from around the country to our Kansas woods! Hope you will be excited, too, to help us make this a spectacular event.
In case you have not participated in a national event (also called an "A meet"), you can check out our FAQ link.
