About Checkpoint Challenges

Do you like taking walks in the park or hiking but wish you could engage your mind too?

Set off on an extraordinary outdoor adventure with Checkpoint Challenges. Improve your map reading expertise as you navigate your own path between checkpoints!

Next Generation Orienteering

Like conventional orienteering, each course includes a sequence of map points that must be visited in order. Participants select their own routes between checkpoints, eventually returning to the Start. Instead of a full-size paper map, though, your phone will show only the current course segment, complete with an integrated compass, progress details, and hints to keep you oriented.

You choose the time and the pace...

Our courses are available whenever you are, eliminating the need to wait for a club event. Participate competitively, with rankings for each leg of the course, or enjoy as a recreational activity. This enriching outdoor pursuit is perfect for any active person or group of adventurers.

After surveying 158 people ages 18 to 87, researchers concluded that orienteering may be more beneficial than physical activity alone. That's because exercising while navigating activates the parts of the brain our ancestors used for hunting and gathering, but which are largely dormant now as people rely on GPS to find their way around.
