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!

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.

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.

Aerobic exercise releases chemicals in the brain that foster the growth of new brain cells. And when you use a map and connect it to landmarks, you stimulate growth between brain cells.
