Checkpoint Challenges

About Checkpoint Challenges

Do you like taking walks in the park or hiking but wish you could engage your mind too?

Set off on an extraordinary outdoor adventure with Checkpoint Challenges. Improve your map reading expertise as you navigate your own path between checkpoints!

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.

Select your own time and pace...

No need to wait for club meetings as our courses are available whenever you're ready. Engage in competitive action with rankings for each leg or enjoy as a recreational activity. This enriching outdoor pursuit is perfect for any active person or adventurous group.

This was a really cool way to explore the park and it took me places I never would have gone otherwise!

Sophia

Went with my teenage kids and they were really intrigued and want to do this again. Novel way to enjoy the fresh air!

Bella

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 :-)

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.
