Checkpoint Challenges


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!

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.

Your schedule, your tempo...

There's no need to wait for a club meet, as our courses are always available. Whether you enjoy the competitive rankings for each leg or prefer a leisurely recreational activity, this enriching outdoor sport is ideal for active individuals and adventurous groups.

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.
