The Programme for the World Masters Orienteering Championships is:

• Sprint Qualification, Saturday 6th July, Arena Dzegužkalns
• Sprint Final, Sunday, 7th July, Arena Vecriga
• Forest Qualification, Tuesday 9th July, Arena Bumbukalns
• Middle Final, Wednesday 10th July, Arena Bumbukalns
• Long Final, Friday 12th. July, Arena Garezeri

The Championships start with the Sprint Qualification in a residential area on the western side of the river, and the following day the Sprint Final takes place on the same terrain as used for the World Championships Sprint last year – the heart of the medieval city – albeit with a different location for the arena.

Pine and spruce forest on inland sand dunes, including some 20 metre high hills, are promised for the Forest Qualification and Middle Final, whilst the Long Final is on seaside sand dunes with “various hill sizes”, much of the land being a nature reserve. As usual with sand dune terrain, the races can be expected to be hard both technically and physically.
