How Do You Set Up An Orienteering Meet?
Orienteering is a sport done on foot, on mountain bikes, on skis and on trails. This article pertains to foot and trail orienteering. It involves finding your way from the start to the finish on your own through rough terrain or trails with the use of only a map (a special orienteering map) and a compass. Participants must make their way in the fastest time with various control points that must be visited in the proper order. It’s a sport that requires a high level of fitness and endurance. Be prepared. The first step to setting up this meet is to know exactly what you’re going to do ahead of time. This means that you must know the rules. Know that before you set up an actual event. You must have a location picked out and an orienteering map. This is a highly detailed accurate map that marks anything of any consequence along the way–streams, boulder formations, hills or anything else that may make navigating tricky. Do your research.
