Courses and map availability
2 courses with SI for start and finish. There are no flagged controls, but there will be a Q&A sheet for information which can only be found at each control site. Please bring a pen. The format is a Norwegian score event which means you visit all the controls on the map, but in whichever order you want. The winner is the fastest orienteerer around all the controls.
Long (Sprint) course approx. 5.5km (running distance) (40 maps). Short course approx. 3km (15 maps).
