Register here: https://eventreg.orienteeringusa.org/eventregister/register/start/phmm---january-24-2026Join us for the third winter series of Mailbox Madness, offering urban sprint orienteering training in Philadelphia (and environs). The Phoenixville edition will begin in the late morning, with the start in the plaza directly in front of the Schuylkill River Heritage Center, a semicircle surrounded by “Phoenix Steel” columns. There is abundant parking available in downtown Phoenixville, including three lots on all sides of the Heritage Center. Lunch/Mappy Hour to follow at Root Down Brewing Company.
Events follow a Score-O format, with mailboxes (and other landmarks) instead of control flags. Tag as many as you can in 60 minutes—pace and route choice are up to you. Scoring is unofficial, on the honor system, though the map will be on the Usynligo app. Note that urban running involves risk. Please cross streets safely and carefully.
There will be a mass start at 11 am; arrive fifteen minutes early (10:45 am) to collect your map and plan your route.
Advance registration is $5. Day-of is $10.
Directions: The start is in the plaza directly in front of the Schuylkill River Heritage Center, a semicircle surrounded by “Phoenix Steel” columns. There is abundant parking available in downtown Phoenixville, including three lots on all sides of the Heritage Center.
