Foot orienteering is a navigation sport where participants use a map and compass to find specific points in a natural environment. Competitors must traverse various terrains, such as forests, hills, and urban areas, while making quick decisions about the best routes to take. In a typical orienteering event, each participant receives a detailed map marked with control points. The goal is to visit these points in the correct order as quickly as possible. This sport emphasizes both physical endurance and navigational skills, making it popular among outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers.
