What is Livelox? Livelox is a service that lets you record and compare your orienteering races with family, friends and fellow competitors. Record your route in real time using a mobile app, or upload it from your GPS watch afterwards.
As an organizer of orienteering trainings or competitions, upload maps and courses to Livelox to let spectators follow the competitors in real time, and to let participants analyze their route choices post-race. Uploading maps and corses is free of charge.

What is orienteering? Using a pre marked, detailed topographical map, find your way around the park to locate checkpoints, marked by one foot by one foot by one foot orange and white flags. At each flag, dip your electronic timing stick into the punch station to record your visit. Then beat your friends back to the finish. Or enjoy your hike in the woods. All styles, from ultra competitive to ultra recreational are welcome, as long as you come back before we want to leave for dinner.
The route between checkpoints is up to you - go over the hill or go around. Keep your feet dry and avoid swamps, or take your best wet-foot shortcut.
Recommended attire:
Long sleeves
Long pants
Running shoes or hiking shoes, whatever is comfortable for you to keep moving for a couple hours in the woods.
Bug spray suggested.
SMOC has rental compasses if you need one.
