DVOA Event Schedule
We use online preregistration for all of our events; pre-registration costs less than registering on the day of the event. Links to register are listed below. Deadline to register is normally the Thursday before the event.
Event fees (preregistration and day-of) are listed in the DVOA pricing sheet.
Walk in day-of-event registration may be available unless otherwise noted, but map/course selection may be limited.
See below for a note about risks you assume while orienteering, including Covid-19 information.

Directions: From Lancaster follow Rt. 30 West to Rt. 24 North (Mt. Zion Rd.). Take Rt. 24 north to top of hill and make a right onto Deininger Rd. Watch for O'-signs.
ED/CS Notes:
Event Director Notes: We will be located at Screech Owl pavilion. Take first left from the main park road. Control pickup will begin promptly at 2:30pm as pickup crew will need the remaining late autumn daylight. Please plan to complete your courses by then.
Course Setter Notes: This map was last used for the 2025 Susquehanna Stumble last Fall. On the east side of the map, there are several unsanctioned mountain bike trails that have been mapped as rides to make them more distinguishable among the dense rock features.
One notable map change: on the south side of the main park road, there is a wide, unmapped path running roughly parallel to the road. Vegetation mapping in this area may also be slightly inaccurate, as some trees have been removed. The advanced courses include a leg that passes through this area.
In the center of the map is a network of paved walking paths and pavilions used by the park for its annual Christmas display. Because the displays are currently in place, this area has been marked as out of bounds with purple cross-hatching. Courses pass near the displays, but there should be no need to enter the restricted area. Christmas decorations are also present elsewhere in the park, primarily along the park road.
The finish is located on the south side of the park road, approximately 250 meters from registration/download.
Due to the cooler temperatures, there will be no water on the courses. Please carry water if needed.
Map scale: 1:7,500 for all courses.

Notes: New Mapped area of the Park by JJ Cote, Control Pick up will begin at 2 pm since we will be dark by 4:30 pm.
Directions: From US Rt. 30 Bypass north of Coatesville, take PA Rt. 82 north. Watch for left turn at top of hill. Follow O'-signs.
ED/CS Notes:
We will debut a completely new, updated map this year for Hibernia County Park, including a never before used southern section of the park that features expansive white woods. Thanks to J-J Cote and Eric Weyman who worked through Winter 2025/2026 and Spring 2026 to field check and draft the new map!
Registration and parking for the event will be located at the Chambers Lake boat ramp area off of Wagontown Road. This will allow closer access for Intermediate and Advanced courses to the new southern section of the park. Courses will cross Wagontown Road at various points. Please use caution when crossing this active vehicular roadway. Traffic is usually light. Also, please do not cross into private properties and out-of-bounds areas as indicated on the map.
Rough open and light green mapped areas are very run-able at this time of the year. Root stocks, 1 meter or larger, have been added to the map using the IOF standard green X.
Enjoy!

A Message to our Membership and Orienteering Friends:
- Outdoor activies, including Orienteering have some inherent risks, and we ask that you assume those risks when you are out and about. These risks include both physical hazards, such as the rocks, stick and logs in our parks, as well as a risk of catching something from another person outside, including Covid-19.
- For a more isolated orienteering experience - our Permanent Courses await you any time*. (*Check with the specific park for their opening hours.)
- We also will continue to respect local COVID regulations - see specific event information for anything uncommon or changed vs. the new-normal expectations.
- Mask usage: Please continue to respect other Orienteers & Volunteers who have different COVID strategies than you do. At our registration, check-in and download areas in particular, please be respectful and keep your distance and/or wear your mask if they are masked.
- Starts: When you register for a specific start window, please aim to arrive in that timeframe. It helps spread out starters, and ensures participants don't have to wait very long to get out on their course.
- Online-pre-registration: watch for the deadlines a day or two before the event. Pre-registration ensures there will be a map available for you, and costs less than registering on the day of the event.
- If you miss the pre-registration, onsite registration is generally available at day-of pricing (see the DVOA pricing sheet), and you can check with the Event Director to confirm.
- Should you have any questions regarding a specific event, please feel free to click on the event director to clarify any specific needs you have.
