Sprintelope – Dunfermline

12 August 2026 6:00 pm

Dunfermline

Sprintelope in Fife! An extension of the Wednesday evening Edinburgh Sprintelope series, north of the Forth. These events are informal and lightweight. There will be a electronic timing at the start and end, but all interim controls are marked with tape (or flour!) and un-numbered. This is to make setup and pack-away quicker for a smaller organising team. But you still get the same smiles, engagement, chat and fun orienteering! Maps won't be printed on waterproof paper so please bring a map bag in case it rains.

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
