Orienteering
A Challenging, Adventure-Based, Sport for Life
Orienteering is an adventure-based sport that involves walking, running, skiing, or mountain-biking around a set course, using a map and compass to find your way. Orienteering is unique in that everyone can participate or compete on exactly the same maps and terrain, from rank beginners, to world-class elite athletes, to family groups and nature-lovers. Participant ages typically range from under 5, through to 95 plus! Orienteering also teaches navigation, self-reliance and environmental appreciation, which are all great life skills to develop.
