4th New Delhi Open Orienteering Championship 
What is Orienteering?
Adventure with a Map and Compass
Orienteering is an exciting outdoor adventure sport where you use a map and a compass to find your way through a series of checkpoints in unfamiliar terrain — it could be a forest, a park, a school campus, or even a city!
The goal is simple — find all the checkpoints in the correct order as fast as you can.
How It Works?
You get a special map that shows your route and checkpoints (called controls). You choose your path — it’s up to you how you reach each control point! You move on foot — running, jogging, or walking, depending on your fitness. You finish the course, and your time is recorded.
Every course is a new challenge — part running, part thinking, and a lot of fun!
Why People Love Orienteering
It combines fitness and brainpower. You explore beautiful places and learn navigation skills. It’s great for all ages — from kids to seniors! You can do it solo, with friends, or as a family.
Orienteering isn’t just for athletes — it’s for explorers, learners, and adventurers of all kinds.
Whether you want to compete, stay fit, or just have fun outdoors, orienteering gives you a new way to enjoy the world around you.
