About Checkpoint Challenges

Are you a fan of hiking or taking long walks in the park but like to keep your mind engaged as well?

Embark on a one-of-a-kind outdoor adventure with Checkpoint Challenges where you will forge your own trail between checkpoints while honing your map reading skills!

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.

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.

Remarkably, even a single orienteering session improved spatial memory in our study participants. This suggests that participating in orienteering, even infrequently, could enhance spatial abilities, with the potential to delay their decline with age.
