JR Alford Greenway, Tallahassee, FL
November 15, 2025
What is this?
Suncoast Orienteering and Lincoln HS JROTC are combining to host an orienteering event at Leon County’s JR Alford Greenway, a beautiful park on the east side of Tallahassee. The date? Nov 15, 2025. The event has been planned for a long time and follows several years of tradition of Lincoln and Suncoast Orienteering working together to bring orienteering to the Tallahassee area. We have competed several times at Elinor Klapp Phipps and Tom Brown Park but this will be the first time for an orienteering competition at the Alford Greenway.
First time? No one will have advanced knowledge of the park and its map. That’s even footing for all. This is a great thing for an orienteering event and can only happen once. Nov 15 is the once! That makes the event special. It deserves special status on our calendar.
We are keen to invite all the JROTC teams to come compete for the first annual North Florida Orienteering Championships. As a regional championship there will be a 25% bonus ranking points up for grabs. For example, the winner in each class will earn 50 points instead of the usual 40 points.
Public championships? The awards will not be as elaborate as the JROTC’s but win your course and you will be a regional champion.
Enter now and see you in Tallahassee on the 15th of November. Go to Suncoast Orienteering for pre-registration by 5:00 PM on Wednesday before the event.
