Checkpoint Challenges


About Checkpoint Challenges

Are you passionate about hiking or walking in the park but also looking to challenge your mind?

Checkpoint Challenges offers an unmatched outdoor adventure experience. Plot your unique course between checkpoints while working on your map reading skills!

Orienteering in the modern era...

Similar to traditional orienteering, each course is a series of points marked on a map that must be visited in order. Participants select their own paths between checkpoints, ultimately returning to the Start. However, instead of a large paper map, your phone displays only the current course segment with an integrated compass, progress updates, and hints to keep you from getting lost.

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.

After surveying 158 people ages 18 to 87, researchers concluded that orienteering may be more beneficial than physical activity alone. That's because exercising while navigating activates the parts of the brain our ancestors used for hunting and gathering, but which are largely dormant now as people rely on GPS to find their way around.
