From 2024 onwards, the International Orienteering Federation has announced that World Orienteering Day will now become World Orienteering Week!

About World Orienteering Week 

Since 2016, World Orienteering Day took place in May and it's core aim was to encourage people from all ages across the world, to take part in an orienteering activity, hence introducing more individuals to the sport. 

In November, the IOF’s Council announced that the day would now become World Orienteering Week.
