June 16, 2006, Newsletter Issue #10: One More Short-Distance Alternative
Tip of the Week
If you enjoy trail running, consider giving Orienteering a try.
Orienteering is a sport in which participants find their way across unfamiliar terrain with a map and compass. The course consists of a series of flags placed at locations marked on a map. Participants can select from courses of varying length and difficulty – with beginners courses sometimes shorter than 1K.
The only equipment you need is a sturdy pair of trail running shoes and a compass. (Compasses are often available for rental at the meet.)
While Orienteering meets are races, they usually feature a staggered start, and participants move at their own pace… so there’s very little competitive pressure, unless you want it.
