The core objective of any event is to allow a competitor a set period of time to navigate their way around a series of controls and collect points as they reach each one.
To ensure all competitors have an equal amount of time to plan and compete the scores for each of the controls are not revealed until they scan the Start Control.
The event is not a test of speed but a test of skill to combine navigation, planning and timing.
The Organisers are able set their own courses anywhere in the world and set the time number of days.
The Sporteering™ app allows the format of the original Challenge to be adapted for events across numerous disciplines.
Although fitness and speed will play a part, this can be over ruled by good planning.
The APP is used by competitors and a web based portal is used by course organisers.

The aim of the event is to score as many points as possible.
