What Orienteerumisklubi Juku-Peedu does

Orienteerumisklubi Juku-Peedu (OK Juku-Peedu) is a non-profit orienteering club (mittetulundusühing) established on December 16, 2007 and registered on January 9, 2008, headquartered in Lüllemäe küla, Karula vald, Valga Maakond, Estonia. The club organizes non-competitive orienteering, fitness trims, and nature-based recreational sports events targeted primarily at children and young people (Jukud) in Valga County, with a secondary audience of adult community members (Johannesed). Its operational core is a network of 7 permanent orienteering trails totaling approximately 78 km with 77 control points, ranging from a 1 km beginner-friendly urban trail in Valga City Park to a 60 km cultural heritage trail across the Karula parish.

The club's technology stack is intentionally lightweight: a subset of trails are integrated with MOBO (Mobile Orienteering), a smartphone/tablet application that combines modern technology with traditional orienteering concepts, and cultural heritage trails deploy QR-code 'jutukoodid' at control points that display local stories when scanned. The business model is non-commercial; activities are free to participate in, funded through membership fees and organizational support, with no pricing model and no disclosed revenue. Go-to-market is purely grassroots — a website, a Facebook page managed by an individual named Annika, direct email, and word-of-mouth through local schools and the Lüllemäe youth center. The club does not have a standalone mobile app, has no disclosed funding rounds, no partnerships, and is governed by a board led by Toivo Kotov as chairman. It was recognized as Valgamaa's Best Health-Promoting Organization in 2016.
