Junior orienteer James Eshelman punches his race passport at control point No. Moms and dads often served as primary navigators with younger members scanning the horizon and dashing toward controls with teams’ race passports. Orienteering is a great sport for family teams as members young and older have the opportunity to contribute toward finding and punching navigational controls. Team Mark’s Marauders secured 18 controls in two hours, four minutes. 8, “Jesse James Canyon,” during the Great Pumpkin Orienteer Meet Oct. Team Mark’s Marauders - parents Drew and Lauren and sons Matthew, Mark, and Luke Holder - capture control point No. Both the two-kilometer introductory course and the five-kilometer intermediate course proved competitive with several family teams in each division. Other participants chose to take a leisurely walk with family members, taking in the autumn splendor and the post’s historical locations. Competitive teams sought to develop an attack plan that captured controls in a deliberate pattern, minimizing time and distances between controls. The event offered three courses - introductory, intermediate and Olympic - designed to match the orienteers’ skill levels and to accommodate all ages and families. Team Haven topped the two-person division of the Olympic course by clearing the course in two hours, 10 minutes.
