Start times for competitors are now posted here* (see below for exceptions)

Whether you are a local, a Mid-Atlantic orienteer, or coming from across the country, this event has something for everybody! QOC invites everyone to come out and experience the excitement of orienteering at a two-day event held on the expansive orienteering terrain of Prince William Forest National Park (PWFP). For those planning to compete in the National Champs/Flying Pig, come and take advantage of your final opportunity to train for that event.

And for everybody, plan to test yourself and enjoy running the rolling wooded environs of this great park.

The 2023 Royal Romp at Prince William Forest will feature two days of classic course competition. Final results and individual placings for the weekend will be based on 2-day combined times.

This event is open to orienteers of all levels. Open course classes allow participation by those who do not want to run in their designated age class. For example, a 30-year-old male who doesn't want to run the blue course may sign up for any other class level. However, ranking points and prizes are only available to those running in their designated age class.

Please refer back to this website often as event details will be added periodically.

The same applies if you are running the Recreational courses (White and Yellow on Saturday, and White, Yellow and Orange on Sunday).
