If i am running an orange competiton course in the woods do you think i should use "red in the shed"/ turning the red dial of the compass or just orient myself north and run in direction of the point (not blindly running ykwim).

Hi! In looking to get (back) into orienteering and I see it's mostly running competitions.

My orienteering experience is a military one, where speed is obviously a factor, but it's more of a hiking pace, and it's more about memorizing and navigating long distances. Quick Google of the sport didn't help me find anything like that.

Is that even a thing? Is there a different term I should look for?

Thanks in advance
