It’s a race that rewards more than just speed.
With generous prizes on offer and multiple ways to win, success isn’t limited to the podium. From checkpoint spot prizes to rewards for being the fastest to visit a control, every decision opens up a new opportunity.
Do you go all-in for the overall win? Or target individual checkpoints, weighing risk, route choice, and strategy.
Every decision matters. Every second counts. You choose how you play the game.
Whether you’re an orienteer or a road, trail, or fell runner, SportsShoes’ Quid Games engages people from all athletic disciplines, using hybrid maps that make navigation intuitive and accessible, even for those trying orienteering for the first time.
It's an experience that’s both entertaining and unpredictable, built to engage and appeal to a new generation of orienteers. Designed to grow the sport to a new audience, our aim is to put orienteering firmly on the map (excuse the intentional pun!)
This is Orienteering Re-imagined. Re-purposed. Re-invented.
This is SportsShoes’ Quid Games.
