WHAT IS ORIENTIRING SPORT?
Orienteering, which emerged in Sweden in the 1800s, is a sports branch in which participants race against time and find targets with the help of a compass and map.
The aim of the orienteering competition is to find the targets placed on the field and complete the course in the shortest time. This sport, which is performed in different terrain conditions with the help of a compass and map, has many different applications. Orienteering, which is a very enjoyable parkour sport, improves the ability to move on the field with a map at the beginner level. As the tracks become more difficult over time, your map reading and route planning skills increase, and your running condition also improves greatly.
