Orienteering is an organized event where participants run or walk between control points using a map to navigate their way through unfamiliar terrain such as parks, forests, or city streets. There are different types of orienteering including standard orienteering where individuals navigate independently over courses of varying distances, score orienteering where points are assigned to controls based on distance or difficulty, and relay orienteering done in teams by tagging the next member after completing a short course. Night orienteering is also practiced using reflective markers and flashlights to navigate in the dark.
