Navigation While this race will include one marked section, most of this event will require you to be familiar with navigation using a topographic map and compass. We may also use aerial photographs for some special sections of the course. You should be familiar with terrain recognition, reconciling maps, route finding, estimating distances and night navigation techniques.
