Introduction

We hope you'll join us for our first orienteering event of 2026. On Sunday, January 11, we're presenting a 3-hour Score-O at our Little Pan event site northwest of New River. The start/finish for the event is the Little Pan OHV parking lot, approximately 3.2 miles northwest of I-17 exit 236.
