Directions Website

Buffalo Orienteering Club Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the mind and body. The basics can be learned easily, but you can spend a lifetime honing your skills.

Orienteering is an organized sport for people of all ages that involves navigating a course by hiking or running through forests and fields from one checkpoint to another. It can be a competitive race of navigational skills and physical speed, or simply a hike through the countryside with the added fun of finding the checkpoints, which are known as control points in orienteering.
