About Checkpoint Challenges

Do you enjoy walking in the park or going on hikes but want to keep your mind active at the same time?

Get ready for an outdoor adventure like no other with Checkpoint Challenges. Create your own route between the marked points while refining your map reading abilities!

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.

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.

Did this solo and really enjoyed it. Going to take some friends out next time!
Dave
Yes, I got lost, but I was soon back on track! I loved the whole experience but especially the helpful warning when I got too far off course :-)

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.
