What is orienteering?

Orienteering is a running sport in which the runner uses a map and compass to follow a route in the terrain that is only defined by several control points. Therefore the runner must find the optimal route for him or herself. In addition to physical fitness, the sport also requires a high level of mental performance.

What does the equipment look like?

The map is the most important tool for the orientation. The terrain is shown on a particularly large scale in order to achieve a detailed accuracy. Another aid is the compass, which is also used by the runners for orientation and to find the point they are looking for. Furthermore, orienteering is usually run with custom-made orienteering shoes in order to achieve a perfect grip.
