Editor's Notes

  • #4: Orienteering is a popular European sport similar to Cross Country and Track. Unlike Cross Country and Track, however, unlike track and field, orienteering takes place in the woods. Competitors must run through the forest and find their way to different checkpoints with the aid of only a map and a compass.
