Orienteering for Adventure Racers

Orienteering is a form of navigation using a highly detailed map. Although orienteering is an independent sport, adventure races will often include an orienteering section. Beginner navigators often have difficulty shifting between the scale of an orienteering map and that of a typical USGS map. The best way to learn orienteering is to participate in events organized by local orienteering clubs.
