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!

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.

Enjoy whenever you want at your own pace...

There is no need to wait for a club meet as our courses are available whenever you are. Enjoyed as either a competitive sport, with rankings for each leg of the course, or a recreational activity, this enriching outdoor pursuit is prefect for any active person or group of adventurers.

Did this solo and really enjoyed it. Going to take some friends out next time!
Dave
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 :-)

Remarkably, even a single orienteering session improved spatial memory in our study participants. This suggests that participating in orienteering, even infrequently, could enhance spatial abilities, with the potential to delay their decline with age.
