Thank You For Joining Us!


A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us at our first Shark-O at Richard McKinnon State Park and Paul Revere Park over in East Cambridge. Your presence and participation made for a great night.

A few highlights: šŸŒŠšŸŒ‡šŸ¦ˆ

The weather was windy and perfect. That ocean breeze may have rustled a checkpoint or two, but it didn't stop you all from dodging sharks like pros and proving that teamwork and maps are a winning combination. Hard to beat a summer night along the Charles near sunset, spent among enthusiastic and determined orienteers of all ages!


In fact, you all brought so many smiling faces to the park that passersby kept asking what all the fun was about.😊


And we MUST give a shout-out to the participant who showed up rocking this incredible shark hat, which even earned a loud compliment from the skaters under the highway. šŸ›¹šŸ’Æ

Thank you, thank you, Cambridge Public Health Department, whose very generous support made this event possible!


And thank you as always to our wonderful volunteers and youth employees -- from setting the course to signing folks in to (enthusiastically!) running around in full costume in August... you are the best!
