Types of Orienteering Concept

  1. Sprint / Sequence Orienteering (Foot-O): Orienteers will follow the prescribed map CP sequence and its checkpoint order. Accurate visiting of control points and fastest time wins!
  2. Score Orienteering: Runner will be given a fixed set of time to get as many control points on their map. Each CP is worth a different numbered value of points and orienteers have to make their own route choices and complete the run before time runs out. Highest score wins.
  3. Relay Orienteering: In a team of 2 to 4, each orienteer will compete against another team in this fast paced sequence-orienteering event. Runner 1 will start in a mass start with other runners in their category, complete his/her map CP route, return to exchange point and tap Runner 2 in order to start. Fastest team to be back and no mistakes by each team member wins!

 

 

 

Example of a Sprint Orienteering event where Orienteers have to visit all the control points accurately in the prescribed sequence. The fastest time wins.

 

 

 

Example of a Score Orienteering race where orienteers race to get as many checkpoints as possible within the allocated time limit. Each CP is worth a different score and the orienteer with the highest point wins.
