Walk, Jog, Run, - you set the pace. Suitable for all ages.

Orienteering is a challenging outdoor adventure sport that excercises both the mind and body.

The aim is to navigate in sequence between control points marked on a unique orienteering map and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time. It does not matter how young, old, or fit you are, as you can run, walk, or jog the course and progress at your own pace.

Orienteering can take place anywhere from remote forest and countryside to urban parks and school playgrounds. It's a great sport for runners, joggers, and walkers who want to improve their navigation skills or for anyone who loves the outdoors.

Orienteering - the adventure sport for all.
