What Is Orienteering?
Orienteering is an outdoor navigation sport where you use a detailed map and compass to locate checkpoints across varied terrain. It combines strategy, speed, problem-solving, and exploration—think of it as a real-world treasure hunt!
How It Works
Participants have up to two hours to find controls on the course of their choice:
- White – Beginner
- Yellow – Novice
- Orange – Advanced
- Green/Red – Elite
We provide everything you need:
- High-quality course maps
- Chip timing
- Loaner compasses
- One-on-one beginner instruction
Own the Terrain. Master the Map.
Rain, Snow, or Shine! Dress for the weather and come ready to run, hike, navigate, and explore. The adventure goes on in any condition!
