16 PROGRAMME O-RINGEN VÄRMLAND 2017 Welcome to String-O/Miniknat A String Orienteering course, a fun adventure course for the youngest kids, will be available each day next to the competition arena. Each participant gets to run around a string course with a map, an Punching Card, and bib number. After completing the course, each participant receives a prize. Each String-O course has a different theme, which will be visible along the course. Each day competitors get to meet Ringo and other characters related to that day’s theme. Kids can run at any speed they like, and each kid must have a responsible parent/adult with them while on the course. String-O Themes Stage 1: Goliath Stage 2: Wizards and trolls Stage 3: Lilla Anna, Långa Farbrorn, Spöket Laban, and Tummen Stage 4: Nils Holgersson Stage 5: Rally Bib numbers You get a new adhesive bib number each day. Charcaters depicted on the bib numbers are from children’s books, as well as the dragon Kjetil and Prince Pralin. Bib numbers are designed and sponsored by Semmeltind, who also have a booth at O-Ringen Square. Assembly String-O takes place in a forested area next to each arena. Look out for signs featuring Ringo, or look at the arena map. Registration and cost In order to avoid queueing, it is simplest to register for String-O through O-Ringen’s online registration portal. You can do that ahead of time or on the day. If you know that a kid will participate in String-O all five days, then you can sign up for the whole week at once (200 SEK). Each start costs 40 SEK. You can also purchase String-O starts at Competitor Services. Pre Booked Start String-O runners have their own start chute. You can also register at the String-O start. Payment is accepted by card, Swish, or cash. Sportident Whenever possible, we ask that String-O runners have their own Punching Cards. It is ok to use a competing parent’s Punching Card. A Photo: Andreas Davidsson number of Punching Cards will be available for kids who don’t have their own. Openng hours String-O is open between 8.30am-2.30pm. Elite Tour Runners in the junior and senior elite classes compete in the Elite Tour. This is a tough competition with two long distance races, a shortened long distance, a middle distance, and a sprint in central Arvika. The top favorite in D21 is current World Champion in the middle and long distances Tove Alexandersson from Sweden, who will be challenged at the top by her teammates on the Swedish national team Emma Johansson and Karolin Ohlsson, as well as some international stars and veterans, such as Simone Niggli from Switzerland and Anne Margrethe Hausken Nordberg from Norway. The H21 class has a very strong starting field, where we can expect exciting battles between such starts as multiple World Champion Olav Lundanes from Norway, Tiomila and Jukola winner Norwegian Eskil Kinneberg, and local boy and Swedish national team star Jonas Leandersson, just to mention a few of the many stars in this class. The junior classes will feature many Swedish and international JWOC runners. For the first time this year, the junior elite classes will also compete in the Elite Sprint that takes place on Tuesday (Activity Day) in central Arvika. We can expect thousands of spectators and large crowds at one of the year’s most well-attended competitions. The week concludes with a chasing start in tough and demanding terrain. You can expect some exciting battles at the top in the woods around the Arena Rackstad. Program Stage 1: Arena Skjutsbol, Long Distance. Classic long distance courses with somewhat fewer controls than usual. The terrain is varied, mostly good running with some shrub-covered marshes and open hilltops. Stage 2: Arena Torget Arvika, Sprint. Typical city sprint with some sections of park/forest. Expect a lot of spectators and a great atmosphere all along the course. Finish in the middle of Arvika’s central square. Stage 3: Arena Boda. Shortened Long Distance. An exciting stage in spectacular terrain. It will be important to recover quickly from yesterday’s sprint. Orienteering technique, route choices, and strength will all be crucial to succeeding on this stage. Stage 4: Arena Boda, Middle distance. This area, just to the East of Wednesday map, offers a highly detailed hillside, where all your orienteering skills will be tested. Stage 5: Arena Rackstad, Long distance. This is perhaps the most physically demanding stage of the week, combined with detailed contours and tricky route choices. This challenging final stage will crown worthy total winners in all eight Elite Tour classes. Selection for elite classes For the DH21 Elite classes, 80 runners will be selected. DH18-20 Elite will have 120 runners in each class. Selection criteria are posted on oringen.se/ under Competition/Our Competitions/Elite Tour.

PROGRAMME O-RINGEN VÄRMLAND 2017 17 Stage Start If you want to pick and choose which stages and courses to run, then the Stage Start option is for you. Every day a number of courses will be available to choose from, ranging from short and easy to long and difficult. If you prefer to compete and get a total time over three or five days, then you can find the same selection of course under the Personal Program option. For the Stage Start option, no total time is computed for you. Registration For the first time this year, you can register for the Stage Start option in one of the following ways: via oringen.se, through O-Ringen’s registration service, or at Competitor Services at O-Ringen City. If you register through oringen. se, you just need to pick up your bib number (and an Punching Card if you are renting one) at Competitor Services at the arena before you head out to the stat. You can also register at the “Köp start” / “Direct entry” tent at the arena’s Competitor Services. This may require waiting in line before you can register. Registration is open until 1pm on each of the competition days. Equipment You need your bib number and an Punching Card for electronic punching before you head to the start. The bib number can be picked up at Competitor Services, either at O-Ringen City or at the arena. You can either rent an Punching Card or use your own. Note that the same Punching Card can only be used once per stage! When you leave the arena on the way to the start, you will pass through a control station, where you can check whether the correct Punching Card is registered in our system. You can also check that ahead of time by going to oringen. se/stamplingsbricka. For more information see “From registration to start”. Start The logo on your bib number corresponds to the start for your course. The same goes for the finish chute: run down the chute that has the same logo as is printed on your bib number. You can start anytime between 8:30am and 1:30pm. Take the correct map at the start You can see which course you are running both at oringenonline.se and on your bib number. Note that the courses Medium 3.0, Medium 3,5, and Medium 4.0 are expected to have so many competitors that they have two variations each. The variation that you are running depends on whether you are competing in the Stage Start or Personal Program classes. If you are running Stage Start, take the map labeled “ES”. If you are running a Personal Program and have chosen one of the courses listed above, take the map labeled “EU”. Win a trip If you complete at least three of the first stages in the “Stage Start” or “Personal Program” options, you can enter a competition to win a trip for two to Alicante, sponsored by the Bergvik shopping center.
