About Checkpoint Challenges
Do you enjoy hiking or long walks in the park but also want to keep your mind stimulated?
Checkpoint Challenges will take you off the beaten path for an outdoor adventure like no other. Choose your own route between the marked points while perfecting your map reading skills.
A new version of Orienteering......
Like traditional orienteering, each course consists of a sequence of points marked on a map that must be visited in sequence. Participants choose their own route between the checkpoints, eventually returning back to the Start location. However, instead of a full-size paper map, your smartphone will only show you the current map segment with an intergated compass along with details on your progess and hints to prevent you getting lost.
Select your own time and pace...
No need to wait for club meetings as our courses are available whenever you're ready. Engage in competitive action with rankings for each leg or enjoy as a recreational activity. This enriching outdoor pursuit is perfect for any active person or adventurous group.
Looking for a local club? No need with Checkpoint Challenges! This innovative new take on orienteering uses your smartphone as both map and compass and allows you to enjoy any of our courses at your own convenience.
