World Orienteering Championships 2017

Tartu - Estonia

Friday 30 June 2017 – Friday 7 July 2017

The Mixed Sprint Relay takes place on Sunday 2 July 2017. 

The Sprint Relay terrain in Viljandi has two distinctive areas.  Firstly the Castle Hills - a park area with steep slopes, long valleys, a forested area and old castle ruins.  The other part of the map is the picturesque old town with many streets.

The World Orienteering Sprint Relay is scheduled to take place from 16:55 - 18:15 this Sunday (2 July).

Our Great Britain elite athletes are busy getting ready to travel to the World Orienteering Championships!

We wish them all well with their final preparations.
