Orienteering is a great outdoor sport using a map, compass and your feet. A typical local event has courses that take under three hours to complete, and has all skill levels. Some longer events are called "rogaines" and can last six hours or more. I personally like the longer events because I am slow and the longer times give me more value for my travels.
There are lots of orienteering clubs in the USA, especially in the northeast. Click on the map picture for the latest. The menu above has lots of the clubs who have hosted events I've raced in.
The Delaware Valley Orienteering Association hosts events in Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey. It has events throughout the fall and spring. In the summer there are shorter "sprint" events.
The Western Pennsylvania Orienteering Club (WPOC) hosts two six hour events in the spring. One is west of Pittsburgh, the other is east of Pittsburgh.
TanZ Navigation runs adventure races and rogaines near Virginia and West Virginia.
Rootstock Racing holds events mostly in the Pennsylvania Area, including multi-day events and adventure races.
