Orienteering Challenge

Navigate. Explore. Compete.

Shape proudly conducts certified Orienteering Events in collaboration with the Orienteering Federation of India, bringing one of the world’s most exciting outdoor adventure sports to schools, athletes, families, and communities. The Shape Orienteering Challenge transforms the outdoors into a dynamic game of strategy, speed, and exploration — perfect for participants of all ages. 

What Is the Shape Orienteering Challenge?

The Shape Orienteering Challenge is an outdoor adventure game where participants race against time to navigate through unfamiliar terrain using only a map and compass. The objective is simple yet thrilling:
Find all the control points in the correct order and reach the finish line as fast as possible.

It’s a race powered by your fitness, focus, and decision-making skills — not by technology. 

The Thrill of the Game

Imagine stepping into nature’s playground — a forest trail, school campus, open parkland, or rugged hillside. The air is fresh, the terrain unpredictable, and the excitement is instant.

With a detailed map in your hand, you scan the route.
Where is the first checkpoint? Which path is faster? Should you cut through the trees or follow the trail?

Every decision influences your outcome.
Every turn is an adventure.

Orienteering transforms the outdoors into a living puzzle — and you are the solver

How the Challenge Works

Each participant receives:

  • A specially designed orienteering map
  • A compass
  • A list of control points (checkpoints)

Your mission:

  3. Reach the finish line with all checkpoints completed.
