Join us for an unforgettable adventure at the 8th Beidou Orienteering Competition. Experience orienteering at high altitude (1800-2000m), Yunnan cuisine, and more.

Who can join?
All orienteering enthusiasts are warmly welcome — from first-time participants to elite athletes, from juniors to masters. If you have a spirit of adventure and are curious to experience orienteering with a Chinese twist, Beidou is for you. Beidou Orienteering offers an all-inclusive package for international orienteers, coordinated by Erik Simkovics, the event director of the Vienna Orienteering Challenge:

This is the third time that I am coordinating Beidou Orienteering for international participants. Beidou is a multi-day orienteering event with a unique charm. At its core, Beidou is about orienteering, friendship and shared experiences. We share the same accommodation, travel to the events and have lunch and dinner together. This time the focus will be on forest orienteering at high altitude (1800 - 2000m).
Welcome to colourful Yunnan - expect spring weather and a fun week of orienteering.

The event package includes accommodation, meals, local transport, competition, training, an English-speaking group leader and host. Simply register & book your flight to Kunming — we will take care of everything else!

"Beidou was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Great competitions and even better caring hosts. Highly recommended!"
