Orienteering is an outdoor sport in which you find control points marked on a map, in order, and reach the finish. You choose the route — the best thinker, not just the fastest runner, wins.
Take your map
At the start you get a map with your course printed on it. The purple triangle is where you start.
Find the controls
Each circle is a control. Find the orange-and-white flag and punch.
Run to the finish
The double circle is the finish. See your time and compare routes with friends.
Which route would you choose?
Over the hill or round on the path? Decide in three realistic scenarios and see the distance, climb and estimated time.
Play the Route Choice Game
The right start for you
Family, team or class? Running or walking? Three questions and we’ll suggest a course and programme.
