Cascade Orienteering Club had a tremendous showing at the US Champs in Tahoe earlier this month. COC not only had many participants, they also brought home many medals.

If you have run any of COC’s Ultimate Races, you have most likely run on a map created by Peteris Ledins. Peteris is the creator of over 12 orienteering maps in our state and COC has had the pleasure of having many events on his maps. He has also been a course designer as well as avid COC race participant. Peteris, his wife Gunta, and their children moved back to their home country of Latvia this month. COC thanks Peteris for his contributions to the club and wishes the family all the best in their new home.
