GB athletes travel to Italy for Training Camp in preparation for the Sprint World Orienteering Championships
17 April 2026
In mid-March, 8 GB athletes took part in a supported training camp in Italy, to prepare for the upcoming sprint World Orienteering Championships taking place in Genova in July.
The training camp was put on by the WOC organisers, with official training sessions each morning and afternoon, and at the weekend there were 2 high-level sprint World Ranking Events with many other national teams also present.
Lots of learning was generated for WOC, and the highlight of the camp was Grace Molloy coming 6th in the second race.
Thank you very much to Masterplan Adventure for subsidising this camp for the athletes.
