Royal Romp at Prince William Forest

Dates: March 11-12, 2023

Mark your calendars! We’ve got a great club event coming up in the second half of the 2022-2023 season – two days of classic orienteering at two great Prince William Forest Park venues: recently mapped Oak Ridge in the far northwest of the park, and the newly re-mapped Pine Grove in the southeast.

We look forward to seeing both QOC orienteers and guests from other clubs competing on our most challenging and enjoyable terrain! Head to royalromp.org for all details ...
