Orienteering club plans event for Sunday

Advertisement

KENT—The Western Connecticut Orienteering Club will hold an event at Pond Mountain Natural Area, 120 Fuller Mountain Rd., this Sunday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

The club supplies the map and course, but participants decide how to get to each of the checkpoints. 

Orienteering is also a competitive sport. Those who take a competitive approach go around the course as quickly as they can. Because they must decide on a route while running or walking fast, it’s a challenging sport that requires using head as well as legs.
