Launched on 19th September 2020, the Orienteering Interest Group (IG) is a monthly event for Singaporeans to try out our sport.

Why is this interest group created?

We realised that many Singaporean do not understand what defines orienteering (or sport navigation). Most of us wrongly associate navigation to their moments in the military or back country trekking. We want to change this perception and show the community that navigation is cool, fun and educational!

Who is this interest group for?

Anyone! From beginners to elites you are welcome. Children and toddlers are welcome too! (with the company of an adult)

What will be I doing at each session?

You will be given a map with a set course / checkpoint to find in the park. These courses range from easy to difficult and our coaches will be there to give you some pro-tips to find your way around. Once you are out, it is just you and the map. You may also grab a friend or family to go along with you.

Each month, we will feature a different theme of training for you to understand the different skillset behind our sport.

How do I sign up?

You are required to sign up for each month’s IG via the link on our Facebook event page. In light of current Safe-distancing, we are limited to a max of 40 pax.

This Orienteering IG will run on the following schedule:
