44th Annual West Point NRE
West Point, NY | April 13-14, 2024
Welcome
Whether it's your 1st time or you've been with us since the start, welcome to the 44th Annual West Point NRE! The United States Military Academy Orienteering Club is delighted to host a 2-Day Classic NRE, with Day 1 at Camp Shea and Day 2 at Lake Frederick/Bull Pond. Both courses are located within the West Point Military Training Areas, where cadets spend their summers refining their military skills. This NRE offers competitors limited access to some the oldest terrain in the New York State. West Point is situated along the Hudson River Valley, carved by glaciers from the last Ice Age, who have left the terrain littered with rock features like erratics and exposed rock faces. The sharp terrain features are sure to provide a physical challenge to any competitor. April is one of the best times to visit the area as the warm weather provides the ideal conditions for Orienteering. We look forward to seeing you all out there!
