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.

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.

Customer Reviews

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 :-)

Researchers found that running increased lactate, BDNF and memory to a greater degree than walking. Spatial memory skills, in particular, increased the most in those who ran while orienteering. The more vigorous the orienteering, the greater the benefits. Remarkably, even a single orienteering session improved spatial memory in our study participants.
