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!

Orienteering in the Digital Age...

Much like traditional orienteering, each course consists of a series of points on a map that must be visited in sequence. Participants choose their routes between checkpoints and return to the Start. However, instead of using a large paper map, your smartphone will display only the current map segment with a compass overlay, progress updates, and hints to avoid 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.

Compass Reading

Scientists find unusual outdoor activity can help stave off dementia. Researchers studied orienteering, an outdoor sport that exercises mind and body and can also train the brain, helping fight cognitive decline. Now scientists say that the sport - which draws on athleticism, navigational skills and memory - could be useful as an intervention or preventive measure to fight cognitive decline related to dementia.
