Orienteering is an outdoor navigation sport that challenges participants to find their way across unfamiliar terrain using only a map and compass. The goal is to locate a series of checkpoints, called controls, in the correct order as quickly as possible. Orienteering courses can take place in forests, parks, urban areas, or even mountainous regions, testing both physical endurance and mental skills like map reading, decision-making, and route planning. It is a popular activity worldwide for people of all ages and fitness levels, combining exercise, adventure, and problem-solving. Orienteering promotes self-reliance, spatial awareness, and a deep appreciation for nature while offering a fun and competitive experience.
