About Checkpoint Challenges

Do you enjoy hiking or long walks in the park but also want to keep your mind stimulated?

Checkpoint Challenges will take you off the beaten path for an outdoor adventure like no other. Choose your own route between the marked points while perfecting your map reading skills.

A new version of Orienteering......

Like traditional orienteering, each course consists of a sequence of points marked on a map that must be visited in sequence. Participants choose their own route between the checkpoints, eventually returning back to the Start location. However, instead of a full-size paper map, your smartphone will only show you the current map segment with an intergated compass along with details on your progess and hints to prevent you 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.
