NAOCs: Top event of 2006!

The first and very likely one of the most read orienteering blogs in the World is okansas.blogspot.com! Mike Eglinksi has been writing daily thoughts about the sport of orienteering on this blog for many years now with topics ranging from map quality, marketing, training, route choice selection, map history and more. If you haven't visited this site it is worth a visit a couple times a week.

To celebrate the end of the 2006 orienteering season Mike is putting together his Top 10 of 2006 and in his first entry GHO is mentioned. Here is a quote from the blog:

"If there was an award for event quality, Golden Horseshoe Orienteering's NAOC would win".

Mike Eglinski has written some very supportive posts on his blog for GHO before. These have primarily focussed on our the athletic development approach calling "Hamilton the Halden of North America" (with reference to one of the World's top orienteering clubs - Halden). GHO does not organize major events that often. Instead we focus on hosting a major event every three years, so it is wonderful to see that the great efforts spent preparing and hosting the North American Orienteering Champs have been recognized.
