Orienteering stimulates both the head and the legs. It’s a sport that involves finding your own way between 2 control points as efficiently as possible.
The participant:

• Discover the park differently
• Practice map reading
• Improves orientation skills
• Exercises… without realizing it
• Practice using a compass (optional)

Attention, guaranteed fun!

Acceptance of risk:
The site mapped by Azimut Laurentides is neither managed nor administered by Azimut Laurentides. The terrain of the mapped site may have changed, due to weather conditions, erosion, falling trees, man-made changes, etc., since the creation of the map by Azimut Laurentides. The participant is informed that the mapped site may have undergone such changes since the creation of the map.
Azimut Laurentides has taken all necessary measures to create safe routes in order to avoid participants finding themselves in areas considered dangerous. However, it is impossible to guarantee that no one will get lost and go outside the authorized territory.
It is the participant’s responsibility to remain attentive and to exercise caution while on the course. The participant is aware that orienteering encourages him/her to leave the trails, which can represent a danger, and that he/she must therefore exercise increased caution. Orienteering is a physical activity involving significant risks of property damage and injury, including serious injury or death. The activity must be carried out within the limits of the participant’s skills and physical fitness, and with the utmost vigilance and concentration.
The participant is responsible for any loss, breakage or damage to property.
Note that the greatest risks associated with orienteering are:

• Urban course: Getting hit by a car or bike while crossing the street without looking.
• Forest course: Getting hit in the eye by a branch. For this reason, we recommend you wear glasses or a baseball cap.

During the activity, we recommend you carry a backpack with compass, whistle, water bottle, snacks and first-aid kit.

The participant must be aware of the instructions and risks associated with the activity. By the mere fact of having the orienteering map in hand, the participant accepts the risks associated with the activity.

Running is good, but thinking at the same time is better!
