What is Orienteering?

Orienteering is an outdoor adventure sport that combines navigation, fitness, and problem solving. Using a map and compass, you find your way between checkpoints at your own pace, choosing the best route as you go.

It’s as competitive or relaxed as you want it to be. Some people run hard against the clock, while others take their time, enjoying the challenge and the surroundings. It’s ideal for individuals, families, walkers, and runners alike.

No experience needed – beginner courses available

Great for all ages and fitness levels

Explore forests, parks, and local landscapes

Build confidence, navigation, and outdoor skills
