Pre-JWOC 2020 Camp: 25th – 30th August 2019, Kocaeli, Turkey 

Following on from the unprecedented success of this year's Junior World Orienteering Championships (JWOC) in Denmark, several of this year's likely contenders for the 2020 team will shortly be heading out on a reconnaissance trip to Kocaeli, Turkey ahead of next year's JWOC there.

The group will consist of returning athletes in the form of Grace Molloy (FVO), triple medalist in Denmark, Megan Keith (INVOC), gold medallist in the Women's Relay team, and Alastair Thomas (EUOC/WCOC), last leg runner from the Men's relay team, which also made the podium in Denmark.

Also making the trip will be Zac Hudd (WCOC), Daniel Spencer (WCOC), Niamh Hunter (WCOC), Peter Molloy (FVO) and Eilidh Campbell (MAROC), all of whom have previous JWOC experience and they will be working hard to return once again in 2020. Finally, there will be some who have yet to make their JWOC debut going over to Turkey and this list includes David Bunn (TVOC), Flurry Grierson (DEVON), Matthew Gooch (MAROC), Anika Schwarze-Chintapatla (EBOR) and Tara Schwarze-Chintapatla (EUOC/EBOR), all of whom have previous international experience having run at JEC and/or EYOC in the past two seasons.
