Presentation
The orienteering race variant: speed trail, is aimed at racing and endurance enthusiasts! This is the same activity as its little sister: the hiking version, the plot is identical. But this sportier version includes more markers as well as more distance and elevation to cover.
The estimated time to complete the activity is also calculated on a faster progression speed, with a principle of running in the descents and flat areas as well as a brisk walk in the climbs.
However, if you want to do a long day hike and have a lot of distance to cover and markers to find. Nothing prevents you from going on the black speed trail race. And to do it at your hiking pace. You can absolutely book one variant or the other and change your mind on the day of the activity without any worries. Our team will be there on D-Day to advise you on the route that best suits your desires and abilities.

FAQs
This orienteering race respects the prerogatives of the French Federation of Orienteering. It is of a classic level of difficulty. Having a minimum knowledge of map reading is a plus but you should still be able to orient yourself even if you are not very good at orienteering. Indeed, the route follows paths and paths for the most part marked, therefore the orientation should not pose problems. The real difficulty will lie more in locating the beacons than in orienting yourself and following the route.

We tried the 'speed trail' version of orienteering to celebrate a girlfriend's bachelorette party and what a challenge! It was sporty, intense, but so rewarding. Finding each beacon was a small victory! We competed by forming 2 teams, it was fun! Congratulations to Rapido for this well thought out activity. 🙂
