Two deadlines approaching on Sunday! Cascade Jerseys & MoboGoGlobo!‏

Posted Mon, Mar 8, 2010

Just a reminder, we've got two deadlines coming up this Sunday!

1) The 2nd Annual MoboGoGlobo! event is on Saturday, March 27th, but the deadline for local runners to participate in the worldwide phenomenon is Sunday, March 14th. The local runners will run a 4.4km course at Seward Park without a map. The twist is that they will be paired teammates (with maps!) calling in from all over the world. Donations of at least $10 will be accepted at the event. Proceeds go toward sending our WIOL juniors to the United States Interscholastics Champs next month in Ohio. Additional information and registration can be found here.

Posted Fri, Feb 5, 2010

Cascade Orienteering Club is now taking orders through March 14th for our brand new club jerseys, which feature our bold new competition design! (click ''read more' to get to the online ordering steps)

The jerseys feature technical fabric, mesh side panels, a front zipper, and an optional zippered back pocket for a spare compass or energy gel.  They are custom-made by Siven, an orienteering apparel company that has previously outfitted the US Team. The jersey design is intended to be paired with black pants or shorts, so it will be easy to match. Keep your existing pants, or order some now.

Welcome to our new web site!

Posted Fri, Jan 29, 2010

As you've probably noticed, we've completely revamped our club web site. By doing this, we have a fresh look and feel, as well as new technical underpinnings that should give you more useful and up-to-date content. We know it might seem a bit disorienting at first, but please take the time to look around and we think you will like it. (The old website remains available, but will not be updated.)

If you have feedback or technical issues, please feel free to mail the club mailing list, or directly contact the webmaster or technical manager.

WIOL 2009/2010 Season Has Started

Posted Fri, Dec 11, 2009

Judging by the starts so far, this will be one of our most active seasons yet for our school league. We also have a lot of newcomers this year, so if you are signed up as day-of-meet, please arrive early enough to get through the registration line before your start time. And if you would like to convert from day-of-meet to a season registration, you can start bypassing the line completely...

For the latest meet results, see the WIOL Results site. What's WIOL? See an overview on the Washington Interscholastic Orienteering League welcome page.
