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!

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.

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 :-)

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.
