The World Orienteering Championships will continue next week with the Long distance race taking place from 11:00 – 17:00 on Tuesday 4 July 2017.
The Long distance terrain is stretching over an area between the highest hill and the deepest lake of Estonia. Run ability varies from good in the coniferous forests to poor in the deciduous forests and there are only a few tracks. Many marshes with varying sizes can be found in the terrain. There are some rather new deforested areas that are up to two years old. The contours form two distinct areas. Firstly a hilly part with minor terrain features and then secondly an area with large valleys with some smaller valleys flowing into it.
Meet the Great Britain Team selected to compete in the Long distance race on Tuesday 4 July at the 2017 World Orienteering Championships next week.
