## Description

This September, SDO heads downtown, with courses stretching from the USS Midway south to Embarcadero Marina Park North. Follow the Embarcadero promenade past Tuna Harbor&#39;s fishing boats, public art, and naval memorials, wind through Seaport Village&#39;s cobblestone paths and hidden gardens, then finish among the open lawns and bay views of Embarcadero Marina Park North. Every course is timed and split by level — beginner, intermediate, and advanced — so if you&#39;re chasing a personal best, the clock&#39;s on your side. New to orienteering? Take it at your own pace and just enjoy being outside — no experience required. Grab your compass, pick up your map at check-in, and get moving. &#x1f9ed;
