This is Orienteering  
     

Orienteering means maps, forests and adventure.

You can run, jog or walk, and choosing your route to the red and white markers is fun.

It doesn’t matter how young, old or fit you are, you go at your own pace.

If you like excitement, fresh air and exploring the countryside,
then Orienteering could be the sport for you.

     
     
  And it's FUN!!!!
