Checkpoint Challenges

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!

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.

You choose the time and the pace...

Our courses are available whenever you are, eliminating the need to wait for a club event. Participate competitively, with rankings for each leg of the course, or enjoy as a recreational activity. This enriching outdoor pursuit is perfect for any active person or group of adventurers.

It has been found that in the 8-week period, improvement was observed only in the Orienteering Group in terms of body weight, test completion time, coordination, and anaerobic power, and deterioration was observed only in the Control Group in terms of BMI and balance. A significant improvement was observed in the Orienteering Group participants in terms of aerobic capacity, which was also significantly more than that of the Control Group.
