Estonian Orienteering Federation is pleased to welcome everybody to be a part
of the largest and most prominent orienteering event in the history of Estonian orienteering, the Nokian Tyres World Orienteering Championships 2017.
Athletes taking part in the World Orienteering Championships will experience a rich mixture of terrain types. The sprint races take place in the city of Tartu and the town of Viljandi, and the forest venues are based on the smaller settlements Rõuge and Vitipalu.
The Sprint Qualification will be held in the centre of the University town Tartu today. The terrain is a mix of old town and modern parts of the town with mostly paved ground and a hilly park with soft ground and numerous paths.
