About Orienteering Edinburgh

Listed Under Sport Events / Active Events / Outdoor Events

Orienteering is an exciting, challenging outdoor adventure sport! It can be done almost anywhere, from the wildest of forests to your local park.

Orienteering Edinburgh will introduce you to urban orienteering in the streets of the city centre and surrounding areas. When you arrive, there will be experienced orienteers on hand to ensure you know what you're doing and you don't need to worry about bringing any specialist equipment with you - all we would recommend is a comfortable pair of shoes that you are happy walking or running in. There will be flags out for you to find and GPS location/timing is available via an app called MapRun should you wish to use it - download this over WiFi before you arrive.
