  Orienteering: A Great, Outdoors Scandi Adventure for ALL!
  

  Welcome to the 2025 FALL orienteering season in Columbus, Ohio, fellow Scandinavians! On Sunday, November 02, Central Ohio Orienteers (COO) will have its seventh 2025 event at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park 2705 Darby Creek Dr., Darbydale, OH 43123. (Indian Ridge picnic area). Check-in is from 11am to 1 pm. Check here and on the COO website for updates. 

  Fall will be beautiful! We've had good turnouts, including new people this year. Let's keep it up! We're glad to have you join us.

  COO's website is here: https://www.centralohioorienteers.org/ It's always a good idea to check there for last minute info, like verifying the start locations in the parks. 

  2025 Events Schedule

  • Sunday, Nov 2: Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park 2705 Darby Creek Dr., Darbydale, OH 43123. (Indian Ridge picnic area).
  • Saturday, December 13: Scioto Audubon Metro Park on Whittier Peninsula, Columbus. MASS START.

  Event Logistics 

  Look for conspicuous signage at events, typically a large white/orange square at the park entrance and another near the reserved shelter/park section where the club starts and finishes. Electronic punching on the long, advanced courses, will start with the May meet. We will still offer traditional, manual red "paper punches".

  Start your walk or run between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Details are available on the COO website or COO Facebook pages. If possible, let's meet at 11 a.m. at the start or see you on the trail.

  Scandi Night- Blue Jackets / Tampa Bay,  Sat. Jan 24.

  Welcome  to the Jacket's special  Scandinavian Heritage  Night 2026!

  We will get first class treatment as a Scandinavian culture accociation. There will be reduced price tickets, a private get-together  before the game, and meeting players thereafter.  And a group photo with us  at the famous Goal Cannon !

  This is a Premium game - on a Saturday night, a high ranked opponent Tampa (we intend to reset) and Scandi folks screaming  loud so the ice cracks!

  In the Jackets new roster, we are happy to welcome  Isac Lundeström  from Gällivare, far up north in Sweden.  This is about 60 miles north of the polar circle. He started high level hockey at age 16,  came over to the US 2018, and was part of Sweden defeating Canada 2024.  His Jackets contract is  $ 2.6 million for 2 yrs. 

  

  So, don your Viking Hat!  It will come to use in a CBJ hat trick as we triple pulverize the Sharks. And the heavy weight will make the hat sail across the whole ice, set a hat distance record!
