Checkpoint Challenges


About Checkpoint Challenges

Are you passionate about hiking or walking in the park but also looking to challenge your mind?

Checkpoint Challenges offers an unmatched outdoor adventure experience. Plot your unique course between checkpoints while working on your map reading skills!

Contemporary Orienteering...

Just like in classic orienteering, each course comprises a sequence of points on a map that must be visited sequentially. Participants determine their own routes between these checkpoints and eventually return to the Start. However, rather than using a full-size paper map, your smartphone will show only the current map segment with a built-in compass, progress tracking, and hints to help you stay on track.

Enjoy whenever you want at your own pace...

There is no need to wait for a club meet as our courses are available whenever you are. Enjoyed as either a competitive sport, with rankings for each leg of the course, or a recreational activity, this enriching outdoor pursuit is prefect for any active person or group of adventurers.
