Orienteering is a competitive outdoor navigation sport that combines running with navigation using a map and compass. Participants are tasked with navigating between predetermined points, known as controls, which are marked on a topographic map. The objective is to complete the course in the shortest time possible while accurately finding and visiting all the control points. Orienteering can take place in various terrains, including forests, parks, or urban areas, and typically varies in difficulty and distance.
