Like traditional orienteering, radio orienteering is conducted worldwide. There are international rules for radio orienteering, and an international organization that sanctions championship competitions. See below for more information. Navigating a radio orienteering course is similar to traditional orienteering, except that you get a map with no controls mapped on it, and you navigate to radio transmitters located near control flags. Anyone who owns equipment for transmitter hunting is encouraged to use it, but loaner equipment is generally available at these events.
Instruction is provided free of charge.
Participants receive one point for each radio control point punched on their score card. Not all BOK orienteering events feature radio orienteering. Below is a list of events for which radio orienteering is currently planned. The list is subject to change. When you arrive at an event venue look for our red and white signs guiding you to the starting location.
