Checkpoint Challenges

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.

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.

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.
