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!

Orienteering in the modern era...

Similar to traditional orienteering, each course is a series of points marked on a map that must be visited in order. Participants select their own paths between checkpoints, ultimately returning to the Start. However, instead of a large paper map, your phone displays only the current course segment with an integrated compass, progress updates, and hints to keep you from getting lost.

Have fun on your schedule and at your speed...

Skip the club meet! our courses are ready whenever you are. Enjoy them competitively, with rankings for each segment, or as a recreational pastime. This enriching outdoor experience is ideal for active people and adventure groups alike.

Scientists find unusual outdoor activity can help stave off dementia. Researchers studied orienteering, an outdoor sport that exercises mind and body and can also train the brain, helping fight cognitive decline. Now scientists say that the sport - which draws on athleticism, navigational skills and memory - could be useful as an intervention or preventive measure to fight cognitive decline related to dementia.
