Long Lake Conservation Foundation First Annual Orienteering Race

Orienteering is a competitive sport in which participants find their way to various checkpoints across rough country with the aid of a map and compass, the winner being the one with the lowest elapsed time. Long Lake Conservation has been teaching Orienteering "The Art of Staying Found" for over 50 years. In this family friendly, all ability race we invite teams and participants to partake in our First Annual, open to the public, Orienteering Race on our elaborate course in the Long Lake woods. Teams/individuals will work to navigate Long Lake Conservation Center's 760 acres. They will travel through the woods, spruce bog, marsh, and even splash through a stream or two. Compasses and maps will be provided or participants can bring their own. Proceeds from the race go to the Long Lake Conservation Foundation, a MN non profit that supports environmental education!
