🧭 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.
