Area
From Orienteering Wiki
(Redirected from Areas)
An area of ground that has been mapped in detail to orienteering standards and so can be used for an orienteering race. An orienteering area can be forest, moor, park, town streets, zoo, etc (or any combination of the above). These are mapped for orienteering purposes from scales of 1:3000 to 1:15,000 depending on the size of the area and the discipline talking place on that area; from sprint distance to long distance races.
