Can you find the speediest route to a series of checkpoints in the city, using the map provided & maybe some local knowledge?
Hosted by Out & Back in association with Grampian Orienteers the Aberdeen Checkpoint Challenge will take place on Sunday 8th March 10am.
We’ll give you an electronic timing device called a ‘dibber’ to record your time which you’ll need to punch every checkpoint with. At the end you’ll get a print out of your time splits so you can compare your times and route choices with other runners.
No previous map reading experience is necessary, although it might be helpful!
Short course~6km Long course~10km but course lengths will vary according to the route you choose.
Meet at 10am at the Out & Back Store, 45 The Green to register, pay £3 & collect your map & dibber.
Mass Start at 10.15.
Please return to the start/finish by 11.45 even if you haven’t found all the controls.
Join us for a blether/coffee afterwards at Contour cafe next door.
Please complete this sign up form if you wish to participate and bring £3 with you on the day.
Can you help us spread the word? Download the flyer and pass it on to friends and colleagues, especially those who’ve never tried orienteering before, and challenge them to give it a go.
