At long last we have an O-Ringen year ahead of us again. The

pandemic has meant that we have had two years without O-Ringen

and that break has probably built up a longing within all of us to

experience the world's largest orienteering party again.

FINALLY! This summer it's time

for us to welcome you to Uppsala.

And how we have longed for this!

It will be so fun to see you all again

at the world's biggest orienteering adventure

this summer. And since there probably

is a huge pent-up interest to finally get to

participate in O-Ringen again, both the

hosting clubs and Uppsala are preparing

for a record number of participants who

want to experience world-class orienteering

as well as other activities to brighten up

their holiday week. Who wants to miss

another O-Ringen? Who wants to miss the

long table, the sense of club community,

Lunsen, the cake, the sweat, and the feeling

of excitement at the start and the wonderful

feeling of finding the first control point?

Who wants to miss crossing the finish line

and the celebration at our arenas filled with

orienteering friends from all over the world?

No, you don't want to miss it! So, mark

week 30 now and bring all your clubmates,

family and friends to share the joy and

community, our wonderful competition

areas, and experiences in Uppsala. See you

at O-Ringen in Uppsala!

Class updates

Since O-Ringen Uppsala has been postponed

to 2022 you need to make these

changes due to a change in age since the

booking was made.

It is mainly class changes and only in our

classes where age matters (not DH21).

Because we offer a wide rage of classes

and in several cases it is also allowed to participate

in a class that does not correspond

to the year of birth, it is not possible for us

to move the registrations automatically.

believe orienteering in Uppland terrain will be

demanding and fun at the same time.


– My main goal is to have fun!

The Studenternas arena is the

place where the opening ceremony,

Bagheera youth relay and SLU Elite

sprint will be held.

On Sunday July 24th at 16.00 it is time to

open O-Ringen Uppsala 2022. Finally! The

opening ceremony will be held at Studenternas

Idrottsplats sports grounds in the

Stadsträdgården park in central Uppsala.

The area has a long history as a city park and

outdoor recreation area and the arena and

surrounding areas have gone through extensive

redesign the last few years. Work on the

arena is now finished and we are proud to be

8 O-RINGEN MAGAZINE NR 1 • 2022

able to open O-Ringen Uppsala here.

The opening ceremony will, true to form, offer

entertainment and a wonderful atmosphere.

The Bagheera relay starts immediately

after the ceremony. A perfect start to a week

filled with joy. Since O-Ringen Kolmården

2019 the competition is held between club

teams. It is also perfectly possible to form

combination teams from different clubs if

you can’t build a complete team within the

own club. You only need four runners in the

classes D14, H14, D16 and H16. So, gather

a team and register for the Bagheera relay

2022. Later in the O-Ringen week, on Wednesday

July 27th, the SLU Elite sprint will

reach the finish line at Studenternas arena.

Behöver man vara en superhjälte för att räkna

djur som inte vill synas på en av världens mest

otillgängliga platser? Kanske. Eller så är man

forskare på SLU. Vi besökte Örjan Johansson vid

SLU:s forskningsstation i Grimsö, där han ansvarar

för fångst och sövning av vilda djur.

Örjan Johansson har en jägmästarexamen från SLU och

doktorerade på snöleoparder. Sedan 2008 har han rest till de

mongoliska bergen för att med GPS kartlägga snöleopardernas

liv för den internationella organisationen Snow Leopard

Trust. Han har befunnit sig totalt över 1 000 dygn helt isolerad

från omvärlden i de väldiga bergen.

Snöleoparderna är mycket skygga djur som med sin smutsvita

päls lätt smälter in i sin omgivning. ”De kallas nog snöleoparder

för det är när de korsar den vita snön som vi människor ser

dem. Man har därför trott att de gillar snön, men i själva verket

försöker de undvika den då de syns som bäst där”, berättar Örjan.

Snöleoparderna är inte så aggressiva som andra leoparder

och de är rätt sociala djur. Det finns inga dokumenterade fall

där de angripit människor. Örjan har själv arbetat med att söva

och sätta GPS-halsband på en snöleopard under översyn

av en grupp snöleoparder bara 60 meter bort. ”De satt där

under hela märkningen, en timme ungefär, och tittade på när vi

arbetade”.

Örjan visar det halsband med batteri och GPS som de sätter

på snöleoparderna för att kunna följa dem i bergen. Efter 18

månader faller det av och då kan Örjan och hans kollegor åka

ut och plocka upp det för att samla in datan och lära sig mer

om dessa djur.

Vilken superkraft skulle du vilja ha?

Läs mer på www.slu.se/utbildning

Att hitta till en plats i bergen kan vara svårt. Det finns inga

kartor utan man använder en satellitbild. Örjan berättar att han

har lagt många månaders arbete med att köra motorcykel och

ta ”waypoints” på olika platser. När han kommer tillbaka till

lägret kopplar han in GPS:en i datorn och ser då var han har

varit någonstans; var hans waypoints hamnade på satellitbilden.

”För det mesta hade jag varit någon helt annanstans än

där jag trodde. Ofta tog det två till tre dagars försök att hitta till

platserna jag ville komma till. Nu har vi kartlagt vägar och stigar

genom att logga alla spår i GPS:en, markerat landmärken och

liknande.”

”Genom vårt arbete har vi fått fram mycket kunskap om snöleoparderna,

men vi har ändå bara skrapat på ytan. Vi kan

säkert hålla på en generation till innan vi är klara” säger Örjan.

Kunskapen om snöleoparderna skapar både förutsättning för

artens bevarande och den viktiga del i det ekologiska kretsloppet

som de utgör.

Vad gör Örjan då när han vill koppla av från jobbet en kväll i de

mongoliska bergen? Ja, precis som för de flesta av oss blir det

med en film. ”Men, jag rekommenderar inte zombiefilm när man

lever ensam i mörkret uppe i bergen”, säger Örjan och skrattar.

”De är ju gjorda för att man ska tro att det är på riktigt. Jag fick

beväpna mig med en käpp när jag skulle ut till toaletten efter

filmen.” Senare berättar han om skorpioner som kryper ner i

skorna inne i tältet, hur han tagit sig in i små trånga grottor för

att hjälpa rytande snöleoparder som fastnat i andras fällor och

om den ökända mongoliska dödsmasken som dödar omedelbart

med sin syra. Åt allt detta rycker Örjan på axlarna. Det är

en vanlig dag på jobbet för honom.

ODIN är ett nordiskt fondbolag som har funnits i 32 år. Vi

erbjuder ett brett urval av fonder på den svenska, norska och

finska marknaden, flera av dem prisbelönta.

Vi arbetar dagligen med att orientera rätt - för vår del bland alla

de bolag som finns på aktiemarknaden. Orientering har mycket

gemensamt med vår förvaltningsfilosofi ODIN-modellen - där

långsiktighet är grunden till starka resultat. Orientering är

dessutom en sport som kräver skarpa tankar, och där de som

vågar göra egna vinnande vägval premieras, d.v.s inte helt olikt

det som karaktäriserar den aktiva förvaltning vi bedriver på

ODIN.

Orientering är en inkluderande sport där alla från liten till

stor får plats. ODINs fonder förvaltas enligt samma princip. Vi

investerar i både i små och stora bolag, samtidigt som vi finns till

för både ung och gammal - för alla behöver ett sparande.

Använd QR-koden nere till vänster för att komma direkt till

vår hemsida. Där hittar du information om fondsparande, våra

fonder och aktiemarknaden. Du är också varmt välkommen till

vårt tält under veckan där vi gärna pratar mer om fondsparande.

Vi på ODIN ser verkligen fram emot att vara en del av O-ringens

fantastiska evenemang. Hoppas att vi ses!

ODIN Fonder - Vi skapar värde för framtiden

Historisk avkastning är inte någon garanti för framtida avkastning. De pengar

som placeras i fonder kan både öka och minska i värde och det är inte säkert att du

får tillbaka hela det insatta kapitalet. För mer information om risk, se fondernas

faktablad och informationsbroschyr på hemsidan under odinfonder.se/våra fonder

eller skicka efter dem kostnadsfritt via kontakt@odinfonder.se eller ring oss på

08-407 14 00. Avkastning visas alltid efter att förvaltningsavgiften är dragen.

O-Ringen Uppsala 2022 has a very concentrated concept

without in any way renouncing the orienteering experience.

This is possible because Uppsala has many urban nature

reserves that has been preserved for outdoor life.

The O-Ringen City is situated on Ultuna, 6

km south of Uppsala city. It is easy to get to

Uppsala by train, bus, airplane, boat or car.

If you live on or near O-Ringen City, you

have cycling distance to all of the stages (4-8

km) and close to experiences and activities

in Uppsala city and its surroundings. Bring

your bike!

Bicycle distance

If you live on or near O-Ringen City camping,

you have cycling distance to all of the stages

(4-8 km) and close to experiences and activities

in Uppsala city and its surroundings.

Bicycle is an environmental and wise

choice of means of transport in Uppsala. The

short distances allow you to maximize your

experiences during the days. So we really

recommend that you bring your own bike or

rent/borrow a such.

As a complement, we will also offer transport

by bus to all of our stages at the main

arenas from the O-Ringen City.

Satellite parking

The satellite parking is located at the exit

of the E4 Highway. From here, as a participant,

you get a short and smooth bus ride

to Arena Pattons hage for stages 1 and 2 in

Nåsten, Arena Sävja for stage 3 in the north

of Lunsen and Arena Flottsund for stages 4

and 5 also in Lunsen.

No parking is offered at the arenas.

Arlanda

Plane and boat

Close to Uppsala there

are two airports, Arlanda

and Västerås airport.

From Arlanda you can

travel to Uppsala by commuter train or bus and

from Västerås there are buses.

There are also options to travel by ferry to

Stockholm, Kapellskär or Grisslehamn. From

here it is about an hour's journey to Uppsala,

by car or bus.

Car

E4

Stockholm

Bus and train

Travel by train!

Arlanda airport 17 min

Stockholm 30 min

Trains from all directions

stop in Uppsala, both

long distance trains and

comuter trains. The train

stops at Uppsala resecentrum in the middle of

the city from where you reach both the arenas

and O-Ringen City with several city bus lines

operating Uppsala. There are several buses that

operate Uppsala with long-distance buses.

Uppsala is close to most people

and is easy to get to. If you travel

with your own car and caravan /

motorhome, you will probably turn

off from the E4 or from one of the major country

roads 55 or 72 and get to the O-Ringen City by

Ultuna a little south of the city center.

PETER JOON, SJÄTTE GENERATIONEN

KNÄCKEBRÖDSBAGARE.

O-Ringen Uppsala offers several

accommodation options. Uppsala

offers a wide range of hotels and

hostels. At O-Ringen City, 2400

campsites and accommodation on

hard surface are offered. In addition,

there are plenty of private homes for

rent. All accommodation is booked in

our booking portal at oringen.se.

Camp ground

O-Ringen City camp ground is situated on

Ultuna, only 15 min (4 km) by bike and 4

km with car from Uppsala Central station.

O-Ringen square is located in the middle of

the camping area and you can jump on the

stage buses directly from here. Although the

distance to all of the stages are 5–8 km so

biking (or walking) is a good choice.

The following service features

are available at the campsite:

• Toilets

• Water and tables for dishwashing

• Emptying of latrine

• Charging stations for phones/computers/

tablets

• Kiosks with a simple selection of breakfast

and snacks

Hard surface

Accommodation on hard surface is situated

very close to O-Ringen City camping at

Ultuna in Uppsala.

Accommodation on hard surface is a

shared simple accommodation form. You

bring your own mattress, linen and towels.

Toilets and showers are available. No access

to kitchen.

Private rentals

Private individuals can post their accommodation

for rent during O-Ringen. Our

partner Nordic Travel ensures that the

accommodation is conveyed smoothly and

safely for both the landlord and the tenant.

The objects are both villas and apartments as

well as summer cottages and caravans in and

around Uppsala and Knivsta.

The supply is replenished as new items

come in so if you do not find something at the

moment please check back in a few weeks.

Titta på vår nya fina förpackning.

Där finns ett löv som

talar om hur mycket koldioxidekvivalenter

(CO2e)* som

knäckebrödet i paketet har

skapat – från åker till butik.

420 gram, närmare bestämt.

Vi har räknat in allt. Från tillverkningen

av gödsel för

åkrarna, kablarna som leder

strömmen till vårt bageri,

energin för att göra pappret till

våra förpackningar, bränslet

till traktorerna, lastbilarna...

ja, du fattar – allt.

I LÖVET SER DU DEN

VIKTIGA CO2e*-SIFFRAN. DEN ÄR

Experterna som hjälpte oss

göra detta var lika noggranna

som de blev lyriska. ”Bland

stämma. Men trots allt vi har

gjort, vilket inte är lite, är vi

långt ifrån nöjda.

VÅR PRODUKTIONSCHEF HÅKAN

VISAR VAR VÄRMEN FRÅN UGNARNA

ÅTERVINNS, TVÅ GÅNGER OM!

VI BAKADE

FOSSILFRITT REDAN

2013.

Alla våra ugnar värms upp

av grön el som framställs i

Dalarna. Överskottsvärmen

återvinns för att värma lokalerna

och vattnet. Den första

värmeåtervinningen installerade

vi redan 1954, bageriet

blev helt fossilfritt redan 2013.

DIREKT

FRÅN VÅRA LOKALA

RÅGHJÄLTAR.

Rågmjölet i vårt knäckebröd är

inte bara garanterat svenskt,

det får vi från bönder som

Anton Öhlund utanför Hedemora

– men aldrig längre bort

än 34 mil från vår egen kvarn.

Ja, vi har en egen kvarn så att

rågen kan komma så direkt

som möjligt från gårdarna till

oss, utan att åka omvägar. Allt

för att minimera transporter.

INGET GÅR

TILL SPILLO.

Hållbarhet handlar också om

att ta tillvara. Den lilla mängd

degrester och brödspån som

vi inte kan ta tillvara, skickar

vi till en annan bonde här i

Dalarna. Han har kor och

de älskar knäckebröd i vilken

form det än kommer.

FRÅN 1817 IN

I MORGONDAGEN.

Leksands Knäckebröd började

med gammelfarmors mormor

som föddes 1817, bara ett stenkast

från där vi har bageriet

idag. Och receptet är exakt

detsamma. Som du förstår är

kvartalsekonomin inget för oss,

vi räknar sekler. Precis som du,

tänker vi mycket på vad vi

lämnar efter oss till våra barn.

Följ med oss på resan mot en

fin framtid genom att konstant

sänka den där siffran i lövet

på paketet. Utan att vi någonsin

gör avkall på smaken.

STUGAN DÄR ALLT BÖRJADE.

* Alla växthusgaser omräknade till effekten som koldioxid har på klimatet.

VI KAN GÖRA SÅ

MYCKET MER.

Även fast vi tagit bort all onödig

plast i vårt bageri och väljer

svensk kartong (som är dyrare

än den importerade) för att

undvika onödiga transporter,

så räcker det inte. Vi måste

bli ännu bättre om vi ska ha en

värld värd namnet att lämna

över till kommande generationer.

Det är ett konstant

pågående arbete som vi gärna

delar med oss av.

VÅRT

ARBETE

EN DEL AV VAD VI GJORT:

Vi bakar fossilfritt sedan 2013.

All värme från ugnarna återvinns

till lokalvärme och varmvatten.

Tagit bort alla plastkassar,

muggar och kartongband i plast.

DET HÄR JOBBAR VI MED:

Byter bilar och frakter till

fossilfria alternativ.

Effektiviserar energianvändningen

i bageriet ännu mer.

Installerar solpaneler på bageriet.

NÅSTEN

O-Ringen Uppsala 2022

starts where

it ended in 1980

Last time O-Ringen was held in

Uppsala was in 1980. Back then the

competition was concluded with

the last stage in the nature reserve

Nåsten. Now, a little over 40 years

later, we are starting O-Ringen

Uppsala 2022 where we last ended it.

The arena is beautifully situated in Pattons

hage just 15 minutes bicycle ride from the

camping site at O-Ringen City. The name

”Pattons hage” arose after the famous

general George S. Patton visited in Sweden

in 1945 and watched a Swedish military

exercise at the site.

Nåsten offers varied

wilderness terrain close to the city

The Nåsten nature reserve has large areas of

old pine forest, ideal for runners, growing

on small hills and marshy areas. But it also

offers several other types of terrain. Close

to our arena in Hågadalen there are hiking

areas with many trails, short and steep,

slopes and further out you get a sense of

wilderness.

There are intricate areas with short lines

of sight and areas with many, sometimes

very large, boulders.

Sample leg from Nåsten, orange difficulty. The red

route choice is the shortest while the green one is

safer but quite a bit longer. The blue route is safe

at first, but it will be somewhat harder to take the

control points. Which route will you choose?

The longer routes will test the skills of all

orienteers.

This can be seen in a larger number

of trails, especially close to our arena in

Hågadalen. Both nearby and farther out you

can get a feeling of real wilderness.

ELITTOUR STAGE 2 LONG DISTANCE


Unlike Lunsen, Nåsten is characterized by a larger variation

in the terrain. A few larger bogs are interspersed

with intricate wilderness terrain in the eastern parts

that is a reserve and therefore has been spared from

forest exploitation for several decades. In all this there

are denser areas, meadows, and flat rocks, and in

the western parts also some aspects of forestry and

agriculture. Runability is generally good to very good,

largely because of the flat terrain, but it can be affected

by vegetation, where especially wild rosemary in

the larger bogs can impede the running speed. During a

beautiful summer, the bogs can be entirely dry, and the

opposite if the summer is wet. Some larger and smaller

trails cross the reserve and there are some forest

roads outside of it. Roads allow high running speeds,

but you will need very supple ankles if you want to run

fast on the smaller trails.

The similarities

with stages 4 and 5

are significant

» Stage area NORTHERN LUNSEN


Thursday July 28 2022

Welcome to

Knivsta.

It consists of flat, detail rich pine

woods on rocky ground with many

larger and smaller marsh areas. The

somewhat distinguishing feature

of stage 3 is a more significant

occurrence of spruce, especially in the

lower lying areas closest to the arena.

This does reduce the line of sight but

without reducing runability. In these areas

the underbrush is instead lower, consisting

mainly of wild rosemary and bilberry sprigs.

There is a large number of paths in the

woods close to the built-up areas of Sävja,

where the arena is located. But further

south there is more and more wilderness.

The area is completely unaffected by

forestry. The longest legs will reach some

areas with windthrows.

The northern parts of Lunsen borders the

residential area Sävja in southern Uppsala and

is a popular area for outdoor activities that

consists of a larger number of trails that might

help on the easier routes but complicate things

on the harder ones. The trick is to make the

right choices and to know where you are. The

longer and harder routes will reach a beautiful

area in the eastern parts of Lunsen that are

a bit more hilly than southern Lunsen where

stages 4 and 5 will be decided.

The ground is light to moderately hilly and

the line of sight, as well as traversability, is

mostly good.

The arena for stage 3 is Sävja IP and

consists of a couple of football pitches and

several adjacent activity areas close to the

residential area Sävja.

STAGE 4 & 5

SOUTHERN LUNSEN

Lunsen - one of the

finest orienteering

areas in Sweden!

The southern and middle parts of

Lunsen are among the finest orienteering

areas in the whole of Sweden

and must be experienced. The terrain

looks like something out of a fairy

tale with a multitude of small hills,

bogs filled with wild rosemary and flat

rocks covered in reindeer lichen.

Despite the proximity to Uppsala Lunsen

mostly consists of untouched, pathless, wilderness.

But in the area closest to the arenas

in Sävja for stage 3 and Flottsund for stages

4 and 5 there is a large number of trails that

will be used for routes that require them.

For the harder routes, the lightly rolling

country creates a challenge that is more

strenuous for the mind than for the body. It

will, in other words, be exciting orienteering

in fantastic and enjoyable terrain. Whether

it is the finest terrain in Sweden or not is for

you to decide.

The two final OL-stages at O-Ringen

Uppsala 2022 have their arena at beautiful

Flottsund where the Fyrisån river empties in

Ekoln, the northernmost part of Lake Mälaren.

In this area you will find beautiful walking

areas and natural bathing places.

route choice is shorter while the green one is safer.

All MTBO participants at O-Ringen Uppsala will

use the Sportident Air+ system for contactless

punching. Using SIAC brings a whole new

dimension to MTBO and enhances the feeling

of orienteering at full speed even more. Vital

seconds can be earned when controls can be

visited without stopping.

MTBO takes place within

cycling distance of O-Ringen City

The MTBO competitions at O-Ringen Uppsala 2022 will be held in close

proximity to Uppsala and O-Ringen City. All five stages are just a few

kilometers from O-Ringen camping. Also, at four of the five stages the

arena is shared with foot orienteering, which we hope will create a great

atmosphere for competitors in both disciplines. There is therefore an

opportunity to take part in both MTBO and foot O, as well as making it

easier for families who want to participate in both disciplines.

Stage 1

Along Uppsala’s western edge you will find

Hågadalen Nåsten, a rich and varied nature

reserve. Within the nature reserve you’ll find

agricultural landscapes, lush groves, dark forest

areas, bare rocky terrain and swarming bogs.

The reserve has been used by humans for millennia,

so today you can enjoy habitats teaming

with biodiversity, and also discover lots of exciting

ancient remains. O-Ringen MTBO starts

with a long distance race, with both route choice

legs and more intensive orienteering. Technicality

of the trails for riding varies substantially,

from narrow trails on rocky tops, bridges over

bogs, downhill sections, technical MTB trails,

fast paved trails, and forest trails. The finish line

is found at Arena Pattons Hage, the same venue

as for the foot orienteering stage.

PHOTO PETER HOLGERSSON

Stage 2

Vårdsätra forest is a small and beautiful forest

in southern Uppsala. The forest is close

to residential areas and is popular for outdoor

recreation. The nature is rich and varied

with coniferous forest, deciduous forest,

hazel groves and old pastures. Almost all of

our Swedish tree species and several foreign

species grow here. In terms of cycling, it is

mainly fast paved paths, but also forest paths

and MTB tracks as well as asphalt in built

up areas. Stage 2 is a middle distance race

with a lot of route choice within a small and

dense path network. As in stage 1, the finish

is located at Arena Pattons Hage together

with the foot orienteering.

Stage 3

Stadsskogen (”The city forest”) is situated in

central Uppsala, just a kilometer from the

castle. It is actually a park, but due to its size

and character, it bears great resemblance to

a typical Swedish mixed forest. Coniferous

forest dominates, and the area has been a

nature reserve since 2005. Stadsskogen is a

popular outdoor recreation area for Uppsala

residents. Stage 3 will be a sprint distance

event in Stadsskogen's labyrinth of fast hard

trails and narrow forest trails. Plentiful

micro-route choices will ensure that it’s easy

to get lost even though you are almost in the

middle of the city. The finish line is found at

arena Kåboängen, located in the northern

part of Stadsskogen.

Stage 4

Norra Lunsen is a large and high-lying forest

area. On barren rocky terrain, lean and

sinewy pines grow with plenty of wetlands

in between. Deciduous trees are in the clear

minority, with only a few aspen and birch

trees to be found within the mostly coniferous

forest. The fourth stage in Lunsen will

be a long distance race with route choice legs

crossing a variety of different terrain types,

including narrow trails inside Lunsen, dense

path networks close to suburban areas, and

pine forest trails towards Hågaån. The finish

line is located at Arena Flottsund with the

foot orienteering.

Stage 5

Årike Fyris is located along the Fyrisån river

just south of Uppsala city. Along the western

edge of the area are two of Uppsala ridge’s

heights, Ultuna- and Sunnersta ridges. Ancient

waterways run along the ridge and river. The

ancient castle on Sunnersta ridge marks the

important role of the Fyris river. The ridges

also consist of valuable natural environments,

rich in typical dry slope flora and sand-living

insects. During the final stage chasing start,

O-Ringen cyclists will encounter a completely

different type of terrain: ridge terrain with

short steep slopes up to 30-40 meters, as well

as more flat sections and built up areas. A

dense dirt, gravel and sand path network and

route choice legs characterise the final middle

distance race. The finish is the same as for stage

4, located at Arena Flottsund with the main

O-Ringen foot events.

Sprint in a classic environment. In the heart

of the student areas of Uppsala with the

newly built ”classic” Studenternas as arena

we offer a high-class elite sprint competition

with exciting path selection possibilities. The

runners are offered a variety of terrain, from

densely built-up student residential and

union areas to parks and environments of

cultural and historical significance.

One of the most famous landmarks of

Uppsala, the pink castle Vasaborgen from

the 16th century is located in the middle of

the area. The wooded city park Stadsparken,

bordering the waters of Fyrisån, is also a

part of the competition area.

– The character of the competition

area varies heavily and will test the skills

of the elite runners. They need to be able

to change pace and be ready for various

kinds of orienteering to succeed, says route

planner Kate Morrison. The arena will offer

high class arena feeling with results on big

screens and grandstands that lets everybody

see the runners reach the finish line on the

The longing of the Csúcs family:

Living and

socialising at

the campsite

Laura and Klaus Csúcs live with their two children in Mora. They have both

competed in the Orienteering World Championships for their respective

home countries, Hungary and Romania. This summer, they are especially

looking forward to finally staying at the campsite in the caravan that was

purchased for O-Ringen Uppsala 2020.

TEXT PER-OLOF SVENSSON PHOTO ULF RASK

February is not an optimal photo opportunity for

MTBO. Laura and Klaus with the children Kristian

and Erik in front who learned to ride a bicycle last

fall but haven’t ridden for a since it is winter.

They both grew up with orienteering

in their respective home

countries and met at an orienteering

competition in the summer of

2008. After completing their studies in the

autumn of 2010, the couple moved to Mora,

partly by chance. Laura really wanted to live

further south for foot orienteering, Klaus

further north for ski orienteering. It was a

compromise, but they also had friends in

Mora.

Their plan was to invest as much time and

energy as possible in sports for a few years

and then move to Central Europe for a more

ordinary family life with jobs and children.

But it turned out that work and family did

just as well in Mora, and the family is very

happy. Laura works as a physiotherapist at

the hospital in Mora and Klaus is an economist

and works as a business developer in

Orsa Kommun.

– We were very well received, and it has

been very fun to build our life here, I am

proud of that, says Klaus, who points out

that they themselves have arranged accommodation

and work.

Laura was a good junior orienteerer and

competed at JVM in Gothenburg in 2008.

She took 33rd place as her top position in

long distance. When she met Klaus, Laura

was inspired to try skiing and ski orienteering.

Between 2011–2014 she competed in

several major ski orienteering competitions,

including the European and world championships.

In 2013, Laura participated in the

cross-country world championships in Val

di Fiemme and this career was peaked with

the World Championships in Falun 2015.

Klaus parents have both competed internationally

in ski orienteering, so he grew

up with the sport. As a 14-year-old, he was

already able to compete in the world championships.

There would be a total of nine

world championships with several places in

the top 30. In 2009, Klaus concentrated on

foot orienteering and got to run the sprint

distance at the world championships in

Hungary. He also continued with skis, being

selected to compete at the cross-country

world championships in Falun.

Which was your first O-Ringen?

– It was 2011 in Mohed, Hälsingland, where

we ran regular forest orienteering. There was

also an MTBO show that was a huge success

and inspired us right away.

Since then, the couple have competed in

MTBO as they see it as good training and

both have their sights set on being selected

for this year's world championships, held in

mid-July in Falun and Säter, although Klaus

says that he still thinks that ski orienteering

is the most fun.

The Csúcs are very happy that it was Mora

that became and has been their hometown

for twelve years now. Laura is 34 years old;

Klaus is 35 and the children Kristian and

Erik are 6 and 4 years old respectively. They

thrive in IFK Mora where they are also

involved in club activities. They say that

the training opportunities for all different

disciplines of orienteering are very good.

Double and triple citizenship

Laura has dual citizenship, Hungarian and

Swedish. Klaus has three, also including

Romanian. In the winter of 2018–2019, the

couple wanted to train for a whole winter

and were looking for an au pair who

could help a little with the children. They

contacted the Hnilica family, and their

eldest daughter Lea lived with the Csúcs

from October to April. This developed into

friendship with the whole family, since the

Hnilicas also competes in MTBO at international

level.

– We have been at their home in Vienna

and most recently they celebrated Christmas

and New Year with us in Mora.

– They will of course come to the world

championship in Falun and Säter. And

we have booked two large caravan sites at

O-Ringen in Uppsala where we will have fun

together, says Klaus.

How much do you long

for O-Ringen in Uppsala?

–We have longed and planned for this for

several years now and to finally get to live in

our caravan and hang out with friends at the

O-Ringen camping site!

Do you have any specific goals?

– No, we just want to have fun with a nice

week in Uppsala.

It is not only in route planning that there

are clearly more men than women in the

higher functionary positions within Swedish

Orienteering.

In the application submitted by the Swedish

Orienteering Federation in 2019 for the

project "More women in events", you can read,

among other things:

"Of the Swedish Orienteering Federation's

85,000 members, 45 percent are women. For

members up to the age of 50, 48 percent are

women. Competition events are an important

part of the federation's activities. Every year,

more than 600 sanctioned events are held

within the four branches of the federation.

The proportion of competitive women is 40

percent and, in the group, up to and including

50 years of age the proportion of competitive

women is 44 percent.

of Uppsala. It should be noted that

O-Ringen Uppsala is one of very few

events that have succeeded in achieving

an even gender distribution among

route planners.

You know the story by now. Preparations for

O-Ringen in Uppsala went well.

In 2017, work began on deciding which

arenas to use for O-Ringen in Uppsala. The

following year, the route planners began

the work that at the end of July 2020 would

result in about 20,000 people cruising (read:

not deviating a millimetre from the line)

through the five O-Ringen stages.

At the beginning of 2020, the courses

were ready, and on April 1st it was thought

that the files would be sent to the printer’s.

But, as you know, it didn't quite turn out

that way.

O-Ringen Uppsala was moved forward

not once, but twice.

But this summer, it's finally time.

– It's been a couple of very special years.

But a lot has also happened during this

time apart from the pandemic, says Johan

Hamelius, route planning manager for

O-Ringen Uppsala, and continues:

– We had an infestation of spruce bark

beetle in Östuna, which resulted in many of

the landowners wanting to cut significant

number of trees in the area. This would

mean that the routes we had planned would

largely have been on newly thinned and

felled areas. Therefore, we chose to move

that stage to the northern parts of Lunsen.

This means that we will have three Lunsen

stages, but at two different arenas. It’s very

unfortunate that we could not be in Östuna

because the terrain there would have placed

slightly different demands on the participant

when it comes to road choice in the

hilly terrain there. But the stage in northern

Lunsen will be a little different from the last

two stages that will be decided at another

arena in the southern parts of Lunsen, says

Hamelius.

The Östuna map will now be used as one

of the O-Ringen training maps instead.

How did you recruit route planners?

– It was my intention to recruit the best

route planners from the hosting clubs in

Uppland. And we have many good route

planners in the district. Interested parties

had an opportunity to sign up voluntarily,

and then I made enquiries to those I wanted

to have in the route planning group.

This has resulted in an even gender distribution,

which is unusual.

Between 2015-2019, the statistics (see the

fact box) show that the proportion of female

route planners on the approximately 600 sanctioned

events every year is about 12 percent.

– What was remarkable in our

recruitment process was that not a single

woman signed up when we first started

looking for route planners, but once I asked

the question directly, basically everyone said

yes, and has taken great pride in being part

of the route planning group at O-Ringen in

Uppsala, says Hamelius.

One of the female route planners is Jenny

Westerbergh from Rasbo:

– I've been orienteering since I was a kid

and planned my first competition in 2006.

The interest in maps and route planning has

always been there and so it felt like a natural

next step to start planning routes. Now I am

a member of Rasbo, which is a small club,

but when I planned my first competition, I

represented the big club OK Linné, and it

was very exciting to get the question. Getting

that opportunity energized me and it

felt the same way now when Johan Hamelius

called and asked if I wanted to be part of the

group planning the routes for O-Ringen,

says Westerbergh.

The route planners for O-Ringen are

divided into teams of two or three per

stage. Jenny Westerbergh plans the final leg

together with Olle Eriksson.

– We have obviously had the most cooperation

within our own stage, and with the

other route planners who plan the routes in

Lunsen. But we have also had joint meetings

with all the route planners, including an

internal course for planners, which has been

very rewarding, says Westerbergh.

O-Ringen Uppsala has chosen to give route

inspectors responsibility for the same class

throughout the week so that routes for, for

example, 14-year-olds maintain a consistent

difficulty level during all five race days.

Helene Nilsson, OK Linné, is one of the

route planners pavers on stage 1 in Nåsten,

southwest of Uppsala:

– Route planning for O-Ringen has been

a very fun assignment, although the wait for

the actual event has taken much longer than

we initially thought, says Helene.

But how did you plan the actual work?

For example, how much time do you

spend in the woods and how much in

front of the computer?

– It's hard to say, considering that this is "my

home forest". But I have obviously visited

all the checkpoints several times. Then we

prioritize the youth courses because in those

cases it is extra important that the paths

are clear and that the control point stone is

visible from the path. We also have several

route planners on each stage and there is

a maximum number of 218 control points

per stage so there may be some trade-offs

to make before the track is completed, says

Nilsson.

– I'm really looking forward to seeing the

first runners cross the finish line and test

these routes that we have been working on

for so long.

If you look at the proportion of women with

assignments as main officials at these

competition events, the figures are different.

Main officials mean race directors and route

planners.

Between 2015 and 2019, the proportion of

female race directors has been between 18

and 24 percent. The proportion of female

route planners has remained constant around

12 percent during these five years.

The high status and power of race directors

and route planners, contributes to also giving

the same people assignments higher up in the

organization and in the national federation.

This leads to an uneven distribution at higher

levels. For example, only 13 percent of the

competition managers in the districts are

women. The same is true for the Swedish

Orienteering Federation's organizer coaches

who support and inspire organizers of our

biggest and most important competitions,

such as the Swedish Championships.

All our 20 organizer coaches are men. Another

part that is linked to events is cartography.

Here we have a single female professional

cartographer out of the approximately 40

active cartographers. It is just as bad among

the district map managers. All 23 map

managers are men."

Uppsala county governor

“I'm impressed”

– It is impressive that O-Ringen has

stuck to their plans to hold the event

in Uppsala, says Göran Enander,

governor of Uppsala County, or landshövding,

after it has been postponed

twice due to the familiar corona

pandemic.

TEXT & PHOTO PER-OLOF SVENSSON

O-Ringen magazine met Göran Enander

three years ago when it was just

over a year until the big event

in Uppsala. No one could

have imagined then that

a year later the world

would be hit by a pandemic

that put an end

to competitions, social

contacts and a severely

strained care and

healthcare system.

Göran Enander told us three years ago that he

has some experience of orienteering and was

involved in arranging O-Ringen in Uddevalla

in 2003. He knows the selected competition

areas in Uppsala well and, like so many others,

he highlights Lunsen as a natural choice for a

high-quality orienteering area.

Lunsen ends O-Ringen week with a finish

at Flottsund, south of Uppsala next to the

outlet of the Fyrisån river at Ekoln in Lake

Mälaren. This will also be within cycling distance,

like at the other stages. The challenge

for the organizers is that a bridge must be

built over a major road from the competition

area into the arena area.

Three years ago, Enander highlighted

the social importance of the event for

families, young people who meet,

the club community and the large

campsite. It is likely that the longing

for this is even greater now that

two summers in a row have gone

without an event.

Prior to the planned event in 2020,

there were officials who had already

started planning for their various

assignments three or four years

earlier. One challenge has been to

maintain this will and inspiration,

but the vast majority

have been able to retain

it and are now ready to

receive orienteerers from

all over the world. Three

years ago, Enander also

stressed the importance

of the non-profit commitment:

– It's absolutely crucial,

it stands and falls with

officials. It is also a

challenge in such a

large project with relationships

between

the non-profit and

those who are professional

employees.

You must respect

each other's roles.

What do you think about the fact that

O-Ringen have succeeded in moving

O-Ringen Uppsala forward two years,

instead of cancelling the event?

– It is impressive that the plans have been

kept and that it has been possible to keep all

the volunteer work alive.

Have you had the opportunity to pick

up the map and compass again, as you

planned when we met in March 2019?

– I participated in a night orienteering event

within the Friluftsåret framework last year,

organized by OK Linné.

In what ways will the region

be affected by the event?

– I hope that 20,000 participants will energize

the county and Uppsala. The event is

important for the local business community

in general and not least for the tourism

industry.

How did your work as governor change

during the coronavirus pandemic?

– There have been far fewer personal meetings,

which is usually the most important

tool in my work. In addition, there has also

been less official entertainment in the evenings

and weekends. At the same time, the

number of meetings with the government

and representatives of society at large has

increased even outside office hours.

When we met in March 2019, you

found my question about how much you

control your own schedule interesting. You

answered, “about 25%”. Has that changed?

– After the pandemic, it's important to hold

back. There's a lot of pressure from the outside

and the feeling is that I only control my

schedule to some extent.

Will you participate in or

follow O-Ringen Uppsala in any way?

– I intend to participate by at least running

an open route in connection with a stage.

County Governor Göran Enander is impressed that

O-Ringen has stuck to their plans for an event in

Uppsala. He has orienteered before and knows how

to read a map.

Experience more of Uppsala

Take the opportunity to discover a little more

of Uppsala when you're here. To do something

else is a good way to load the depots with

new energy. Uppsala is close to everything

in many ways the ultimate destination for

those who want to experience more in a short

time. We have a rich cultural life, exciting

events and the whole history of Sweden - in

one place. The sights are many and exciting

for the whole family. It's a lively shopping city

with a wide range. In addition there is beautiful

nature, both in the middle of the city and

its surrounding areas if you prefer it

1. Old Uppsala

In order to tell the story of Uppsala We have

to start about 5 km north. It lay there for

1,500 years then the place Uppsala, the centre

of power of Svea Rike (The consolidation

of Sweden) and an important cult place of

worship. Here lived Vikings and their ancestors

on estates and farms, cultivated land,

engaged in trade and made long journeys.

Today, the place is known as Gamla Uppsala,

one of the world's most interesting Viking

destinations and tells the story of one of

Sweden's most mythical places. Here are the

three majestic royal mounds from 500s, one

of the largest burial areas in the Nordic countries

and the remains of the cathedral as was

built in the 12th century. The place tells about

mighty kings, golden pagan temples, human

sacrifices and large blot parties. Right next to

the mounds is Gamla Uppsala museum. The

museum's basic exhibition includes archaeological

finds from excavations such as those

which tell about the young kings, Viking age

sacrifices, pagan gods and a warlike Iron Age.

Join us on a journey across the seas of time,

from the pagan kingdom of the 5th century,

via the Viking Age's religious turning point

to the construction of the cathedral from the

12th century. Using Augmented Reality and

Virtual Reality, you can experience Uppsala

as it looked before. Walk around the royal

estate area about 100 years before the actual

Viking Age and see all the famous monuments.

Experience its huge hall in its majestic

elevation on the square next to the church. Or

go on a hunt for virtual archaeological finds.

2. Fyrishov, water park and outdoor pool

A short walk from Uppsala's city centre is

Fyrishov, one of Sweden's largest arenas for

swimming and water adventures. A swimming

place for the whole family.

Here is the popular Äventyrsbadet where

you play in a tropical environment and birds

chirp among water slides, jet stream, waterfalls

and water cannons. Right next to it lies the

swimming pool with a large pool that they

have Olympic dimensions 50 x 25 metres and

courses reserved for those who want to swim

for exercise. If you are brave, you can go up to

the top 10-metres high jump tower and if you

want and dare - jump from the top.

On a beautiful summer day, you can

choose to hang out in the outdoor pools,

surrounded by one beautiful green area that

stretches down to Fyrisån. Here, the water

temperature is a lovely 26 degrees. On the

site there is also a playground and activities

in progress on and off.

At Fyrishov, there is also a relaxation pool

for those who are over 16 years, a little oasis

to unwind. Here you can enjoy a regular

sauna, steam room, a warm relaxation room

and in a large, 38-degree hot tub.

3. Uppsala domkyrka (Uppsala Cathedral)

In the heart of Uppsala you will find Uppsala

Domkyrka,which with its majestic towers

is one part of Uppsala's silhouette. It is the

largest and the highest cathedral in Scandinavia

and also belongs to Sweden's national

shrine. In seven centuries, millions of people

have come here.

The city's most appreciated tourist destination

offers a history lesson beyond the

ordinary. In Gothic style, the cathedral began

to be built around 1270 and was finally inaugurated

in 1435. The 119 metres high towers

were first built in the 15th century. Since

then, several fires have affected the church,

the largest damage caused by the great city

fire of 1702. Among the sights are the shrine

with Erik the Saint's relics, a medieval altar

cabinet and a pulpit from the 18th century.

Artwork like Maria (The Return) by Anders

Widoff, Olof Hellström's candlestick and Eva

Spångberg's tableaux have attracted attention

due to their modern decoration.

Several important people in Sweden's history

are buried here. The kings Gustav Vasa

and John III and their queens are among

them. The botanist Carl von Linné and his

wife Sara Lisa Moraea, the naturalist and

mystic Emanuel Swedenborg and the Nobel

Peace Prize winner Nathan Söderblom are

some further examples.

In the north tower is the Cathedral

Museum Treasury Skattkammaren with one

of Europe's finest collections of medieval

church textiles. Also, older objects of gold

and silver are on display. In addition, Queen

Margaret's Golden, the world's only surviving

golden skirt from the Middle Ages and

the so called Sture clothes which in the same

way are the only complete menswear from

the renaissance of the late 16th century.

www.uppsaladomkyrka.se

Many say that you have not seen Uppsala

if you have not seen Fyrisån. Up and down

along the river's walkable paths are some of

the city's most popular places to visit, but

also cafes and restaurants with outdoor cafes

for a lovely summer hangout. Among the

favourites are the traditional Güntherska

Hovkonditori & Schweizeri, located in one

beautiful house just down the river and that

has been around in various forms since the

end of the 19th century. Another popular

place is Saluhallen (the Market Hall), exactly

below the cathedral. Built 1909, renovated

and newly opened in 2018, and which today

is one classic experience with trade, taverns,

café and an art gallery.

You can also experience the Fyrisån, on

the Fyrisån. Aktivt Uteliv offers rentals and

opportunities for those who paddle kayak

or Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP). You can,

6. Lennakatten

among other things join the Beaver Safari

together with one guide that takes you out

to the beaver's home waters or experience

the water, the heat from the sun and peace

within you with SUP Yoga.

4. Pelle Svanslös playground

In Carolina Park, behind the University Library

Carolina Rediviva, is Pelle Svanslös playground.

It is specially designed for environments in the

books about the tailless cat Pelle and which

since the inauguration in 2014 also has become

a sight for children and parents.

Here you can play in Pelle's basement and

attic, Måns shed, climb Gammel-Maja’s cathedral

tower and go down the slide. Visit Tusse

Batong's office and Fru Råttström’s confectionery.

There are also swings, bicycle carousel,

rooftops to climb on and a old-fashioned bus

going to Skogstibble. And much more!

Around the playground itself, there are

plenty of lawns and picnic tables, as well as

toilets. Do not miss Pelle's Adventure, a new

exciting game that you play on site in the

park with your phone.

pelles-aventyr

Enjoy a different travel experience with steam

trains, rail bus and vintage bus along one of

Sweden's most beautiful railways, the Museum

Railway Lennakatten. It passes through

a varied and captivating landscape - across

the Uppsala plain, through the dense Vedyxa

forest, out into the open landscape south of

Funbo church, and then meanders after the

inviting lakes Trehörningen, Lötsjön and

Långsjön, before the typically magical forest

is passed before the Faringe terminus.

The stations and stops function as starting

points for short nature and cultural walks

in the local environment but also longer

excursions on foot or by bike on the network

of footpaths, hiking trails and bike paths

available. Bicycles, as well as dogs, are taken

free of charge on Lennakatten's trains.

Along the way, you can stop at the railway

café in Marielund or the summer paradise

Fjällnora where there are a beach and

domestic farm animals. You can also stay and

eat a good meal at Länna Bruk's restaurant

or eat steamed beef at Augusts Värdshus in

Almunge or see the locomotive and wagon

halls in Faringe. Here you can also take the

opportunity to visit Thun's department store.

Wise choices make

O-Ringen more sustainable

During the five-year period 2021-2025, O-Ringen focuses on being "A well-known

sustainable experience". Sustainable development of O-Ringen is about finding a

balance between social, environmental, and economic sustainability that allows

us to continue to create opportunities for existing and future generations of

participants to share community, joy, and experiences at O-Ringen. We will make

active and wise choices for a balanced and optimized sustainability. Our work and

our sustainability goals will contribute to the global sustainability goals.

TEXT ANNA WENNERTORP PHOTO PETER HOLGERSSON

For support in becoming an even more

sustainable experience, O-Ringen has

enlisted the help of Greentime. A digital

planning tool allows us to work actively with

our goals around environmental, social, and

economic aspects in a structured way. The

goal of O-Ringen is to be able to call itself a

Certified Sustainable Event. So how do we

get there?

Simon Strandvik, CEO of Greentime, says:

– To get the certification, O-Ringen

needs to achieve a number of sustainability

requirements in the planning tools associated

with the certification process. A variety of

questions related to sustainability are answered

and when the questions are answered,

an independent auditor will review these

answers. There is also a site check during

the O-Ringen event, which also results in a

protocol with observations and improvement

proposals.

Greentime has been around since 2014 and

works to make it possible for more people to

arrange sustainable events. The aim is to accelerate

the transition to a sustainable society.

Emissions really needs to be reduced and the

transition to a sustainable society must be

much faster. People's needs must be met, but

it must be done in a sustainable way.

– If we can get large organizers to focus

on sustainability and act accordingly, there

are also good opportunities to have a great

impact on the participants at the event. The

organizers become key players when we want

to make people more sustainable since an

event creates particularly good communication

spaces where important messages can be

conveyed, says Simon.

A sustainable event

One concept that comes up when talking

about sustainability is Greenwashing. In

short, this means that a company or organization

paints a false picture of being sustainable

and environmentally friendly, when its

actions in reality are completely ineffective

and insignificant and actually has negative

effects on the environment. Therefore, it

is very important to be able to document

and report what is being done to achieve

sustainability. Both protocols and auditing

are necessary tools here. The support that

Greentime contributes is also an important

part of the journey towards becoming a

certified sustainable event. Another crucial

thing is continuity and that O-Ringen has

sustainability as one of its most important

goals in its strategy is of course also crucial

to success. Simon Strandvik:

– O-Ringen has an advantage in that there

is a lot of documentation and willingness to

work with the sustainability both within the

event and at the Swedish Orienteering Federation.

The participants are also a group that

has great respect for nature from childhood.

You simply know that you are not supposed

to litter and that you should protect the

environment.

But how sustainable is O-Ringen?

– Getting a big event completely sustainable

is difficult but the work that O-Ringen

has done so far and is in the middle of is

outstanding, according to Simon, as the

sustainability issue is very central and omnipresent.

The fact that nature is the arena

for the event means that there is a built-in

responsibility for the environment from

both participants and organizers as well as

partners and suppliers linked to O-Ringen

.

How do we become

more sustainable together?

– There is no end to things you can do, but

you must focus on what you can do and

what you do well. Events have an environmental

impact, but we also have a responsibility

and a great opportunity to do things

and make changes that have a positive effect

on both people and the environment.

According to Simon, there are several concrete

things we can think about to become

more sustainable before and during the event.

– If I can mention three things, I would

choose transportation, what you eat, and

how you create and take care of your waste. If

you can reduce your emissions by taking the

train or carpooling to Uppsala and cycling

once you are there, it makes a big difference

and emissions are reduced, especially if there

are many who do so. During the event itself,

it matters a lot what you eat, perhaps you

could choose the “greener” option and thus

have less climate impact. And then there is

the waste – take care of your trash and sort

it correctly so it can be taken care of. And

if I can add one more thing, it is water use.

Use water sparingly when you shower in the

arena or wash dishes at the campsite – you

are many who with small savings can create a

big one together.

– Together we make a difference and

are part of something good and the goal of

O-Ringen is to facilitate and enable these

differences that create sustainability in the

long term.

EVENTS

SHOPPING

FOOD & DRINK

A wealth of experiences.

Uppsala’s attractions range from large-scale concerts

and sports events to intimate gigs, exhibitions and

displays. Throughout the summer, there are concerts and

entertainment on the outdoor stage at Parksnäckan (“The

Park Snail”) in the City Garden, where popular Swedish

artistes and children’s favourites can often be heard.

pssst...

Do not miss this summer’s unique exhibition about Van

Gogh at Fyrishov. A digital art experience filled with light,

color and sound that stimulates all senses.

For all tastes.

Uppsala has a unique mix

of small local boutiques,

specialist shops and modern

shopping malls, all within

easy walking distance

within the city centre. Start

in the charming shops

beside the cobblestone

alleyways near the Fyris

River, and then stroll along the pedestrian street where you will

find famous chain stores, brand shops and shopping malls. Just

three kilometres from Uppsala city centre is the Gränbystaden

Shopping Centre with over 160 shops, restaurants, cafés and

other services. Here, among other things, is the first 4DX cinema

auditorium in Sweden.

CULTURE & HISTORY

A lovely atmosphere and

great food.

Whether you want to eat a lot or a little, outside or

inside, Uppsala has a wide range of bars and indoor

& outdoor cafés.

At destinationuppsala.se/guides you will find tips

such as the best street food in town, tasteful coffee

bars and all the inns, bodegas and brasseries in

Uppsala that are worth a visit.

pssst...

There are over 140 outdoor cafés in Uppsala and

just as many reasons to visit one of them. Eat and

drink something while enjoying the sun for a while

and watching people walking by. A great way to

enjoy the atmosphere in Uppsala.

NATURE

Take it easy, in the middle of the

city or just around the corner.

Take a walk in the Årummet waterside development along

the Fyris River. Relax in the City Garden or one of the other

parks in the city centre. Only 15 minutes away, you will

find bathing areas, hiking trails and hidden spots deep in

the forest. Or how about a ride on the Lennakatten narrowgauge

heritage railway through the beautiful summer

Uppland.

pssst...

Carl Linnaeus is one of the world’s most famous scientists. Nowhere else are

there as many traces of him as in Uppsala. Walk along one of the Linnaeus

trails to his summer residence in Linnaeus’ Hammarby, visit the Linnaeus

Museum, which was his home, or enjoy the calm in the Linnaeus Garden – a

green oasis in the middle of Uppsala. linneuppsala.se

A pink castle.

Uppsala Castle was built by King Gustav Vasa in 1549 and has

played a major role in our Swedish history. It has been the scene

of several dramatic events involving bloodbaths, conspiracies,

plots and murder, and not least the abdication of Queen Kristina,

which took place here in 1654. Today, the castle is home to

the County Governor, but also houses three exciting museums:

Uppsala Art Museum, the House of Peace and Vasaborgen

(Uppsala Castle Museum). You can also enjoy Uppsala’s best

views from here with a roof-top walk on the castle roof.

MIAOW!

Do you know Peter-No-Tail? The famous cat lived in Uppsala

and left his paw prints here. Nowadays, you can meet him in

his play park, on guided walks and as a statue. Pussyfoot over

his own pedestrian crossing to the district of Åsgränd, where

he lived with his beloved Maja Gräddnos (Maya Cream Nose),

but which was also home to Elaka Måns (Mean Magnus), his

armour-bearers Bill & Bull and the other cats. Do not miss Pelle’s

Adventure, a new exciting game that you play on site in the park

with your phone.

Since the start of O-Ringen in 1965, one of the goals is to

develop the orienteering sport.

O-Ringen Academy is therefore a recurring feature on each

O-Ringen and aims to help with the development of orienteering

around the world. This can be done by offering representatives

from orienteering countries, education and training to help make

the orienteering sport grow in those concerned countries. The

participants at the Academy also receive training to develop their

own individual orienteering skills.

O-Ringen Academy is a unique opportunity for orienteering and

interested people to be able to continue working with development

of the sport in their home countries. The idea behind O-Ringen

Academy is, through the transfer of knowledge and experience, to

develop individual competence to be able to market, organize and

teach Orienteering in their own country and at the same time participate

at the worlds largest orienteering competition, O-Ringen.

Academy is above all

for participants from new orienteering countries where the sport

is under development and where there is a need to quickly gain

knowledge and routines to be able to organize your own orienteering

competition.

O-Ringen is finally

arriving in Åre!

See you in 2023

– to the mountains!

The mountain Åreskutan, reaching to 1420 m above sea

level, will welcome those making the journey to Åre. With

it’s rich history, Åre village has attracted visitors for

hundreds of years, growing into a year-round destination.

In summer 2023, O-Ringen will also make it’s mark in

Åre’s history.

A thousand years of tourism

Visitors have been making their way to Åre since the year 1100.

Thousands of European pilgrims passed through Åre on foot on

their way to Saint Olav’s grave in Nidaros, that today forms part

of Trondheim. The route can be undertaken on foot even today,

as a hiking trail follows the pilgrim’s footsteps, starting on the east

Baltic coast at Selånger, just outside Sundsvall, to Trondheim in the

west. What started as a farming village developed into an international

tourist resort, at least in part thanks to the clean mountain

air. The mountain air was thought to be beneficial for the ill and

the so-called “air-guests” were given the opportunity to participate

in activities such as hiking, hunting and fishing. It was actually as

last as the 1970s when Åre began to attract a similar number of visitors

in winter as in summer. In the 1970s Sweden was hit by skiing

fever and ski resorts exploded in parallel with Ingemar Stenmark’s

achievements on the international stage. The ”kabinbanan” cable

car was constructed in 1976 which brought a drastically increased

capacity to the life system.

Year-round destination

Although the winter season has been dominant in attracting visitors

to Åre in recent decades, summer tourism has also exploded

in the village in recent years. Hiking, mountain running, downhill

and cross-country mountain biking, white-water rafting and

a whole host of other sports have turned Åre into an adventure

paradise for the whole family. Åre also offers a broad choice of

accommodation and restaurants, from 5-star hotels to cosy hostels,

street food to fine dining.

After postponement of O-Ringen Åre for two years, planning

for the event in the Swedish mountains in summer

2023 is finally underway.

– It has been challenging for various reasons, but the

pandemic has given us room for manoeuvre and a chance

to develop the concept, explains Niclas Lidström, project

manager for O-Ringen Åre 2023.

– The initial idea was for O-Ringen Åre to take place in 2021, but

the pandemic postponed the event for not just one but two years.

Despite the pandemic, planning for the event in Åre has continued

and many things have had to be done not once but twice.

However, things are looking up, and there is confidence that the

event will be able to take place as planned in the summer of 2023.

– The postponements have caused us to move two stages from

Åre Björnen, because the landowners for the land where we would

have had the arena have now started to build a climbing facility.

This meant we had to really rethink our plans, Niclas explains.

Three stage areas

The two stages in Åre Björnen have been replaced with one stage

in Järpen and another stage in Ånn. Now O-Ringen Åre will be

arranged as follows:

• Stage 1 & 2: Trillevallen

• Stage 3: Järpen

• Stage 4 & 5: Ånn

– We are very content with these three areas that we will run in.

The cartographers and course planners are very satisfied. Now we

hope that all participants who come up to Åre in the summer of

2023 and take part in O-Ringen will be too, says Niclas.

Campsite also in Åre

Although there will be a smaller campsite in Järpen, and that the

rest of the accommodation will be spread out over the Åre valley,

the competition centre will be located in Åre village. The O-Ringen

square will be established around Holiday Club, and many

activities, including the Youth relay and Elite sprint, will be held in

Åre village.

– Åre is a wonderful location even in the summer. Taking the lift

up the mountain, Åreskutan, or hiking or taking the bike up will

be a fun experience for orienteers as well.

Competitors will not be able to take cars to the event stages; but

a bus shuttle service will be offered. Four bus lines will operate

from two satellite car parks, in Duved and Undersåker, to shuttle

participants to the events.

– O-Ringen Åre is a fantastic project to work with. Our volunteers

are working hard to create a great event for the competitors,

and for the first time we have several Norwegian clubs involved in

the organisation.

What can participants expect to experience

when they come to Åre in summer 2023?

– They can expect fantastic terrain, scenic run-ins and arenas, and

of course challenging courses. But above all I hope that they will

discover that there is so much more to see and do in Åre valley and

Jämtland, Niclas Lidström concludes.

Untouched forests,

mountain terrain

and few paths

The preparations for O-Ringen Åre

continue in the lead up to summer

2023. For the first time in O-Ringen’s

history, all the course planners for all

five stages actually come from Norway!

– It is an honour that we are able to be

involved, together with the Swedish orienteering

clubs, to arrange the world’s biggest

orienteering event”, says Morten Strand

from Wing OK in Trondheim, who is planning

the courses in Trillevallen.

In total, nine planners have worked on the

courses for the five stages of O-Ringen Åre

2023. Twice now, the event has been postponed

thanks to the pandemic. What’s more,

for almost a year and a half of the pandemic,

the Norwegian planners were unable to travel

across the Swedish border to check out the

competition terrain – that of course was a

challenge, but has still been manageable.

Morten, how is the planning

going for the Trillevallen courses?

– The planners have had to cope with a long

pause thanks to the pandemic, but now we

are finally able to visit the terrain again. We

think that we’re in a good position with the

Trillevallen planning. The map is complete

and during the coming spring and summer

we’ll be checking out the terrain in person

to make small adjustments to planned

control placements, together with the other

planners, explains Morten.

What can competitors expect in Trillevallen?

– Runners can look forward to experiencing

untouched forests, hilly mountain terrain

and few paths in the area. The runnability is

good throughout the area and especially up

above the tree line.

Morten describes that the area around the

mountain Välliste will offer challenging

orienteering on the top slopes and fast open

marshes on the downhills.

– The mountain forest consists of pineand

birch-forest and can in places have

lower visitbility. Here competitors will need

to be careful in their orienteering and adjust

their speed to spike the controls and avoid

mistakes.

Morten strand has also found a favourite

spot in the terrain:

– I want to add that the view from the

summit of Välliste is one of the best views

in O-Ringen’s history! The views reach as

far as the Norwegian border to the west and

Östersund to the east.

Will there be one or two stages in Trillevallen?

– The first stage will take place in the challenging

forest on the south side of Välliste,

but for the second stage many courses will

reach Välliste’s summit with tough climbs

and a lot of traversing the slopes.

How does it feel as a Norwegian to get to be

a part of O-Ringen 2023’s organizing team?

– It was with a mix of delight and trepidation

that I accepted the role as one of

O-Ringen’s planners. O-Ringen is the largest

sporting event in Scandinavia and well

known in the world of orienteering, explains

Morten Strand.

He continues that orienteering is a smaller

sport in Norway and that there isn’t an event

quite like O-Ringen with such media focus

and status.

– It’s therefore an honour to be invited to

contribute as an organising club and have the

opportunity to work with the other Norwegian

and Swedish clubs for this huge event.

How many planners from Norway

are involved in O-Ringen Åre?

– We are nine in total from mid-Norway

across all five stages. There are three planners

from Freidig orienteering, three from

Wing OK, two from Stjördals-Blink and one

from Sköynar OK. As well as that we have

one planner involved in the MTBO.

What has been the hardest part of

planning the courses for O-Ringen?

– You can hardly compare the number of

factors involved in the O-Ringen planning

process with other events, as far as I know.

It takes a lot of time to plan because there

are almost 140 classes for different levels and

225 controls. Then we have to factor in the

8 different starts, the distances and adapting

the courses to the arena, as well as a few

areas of sensitive and protected habitats in

the competition areas.

– You could think of it as a very difficult

and complicated jigsaw puzzle! It has perhaps

been hardest to plan good courses for

the youngest junior classes in Trillevallen,

where it’s important to find the right level of

difficulty in an area with few paths.

– We have benefitted hugely from meeting

and discussing the courses as a group. We’ve

also had received really good guidelines

from previous O-Ringen events.

How do you think the

competitors will like the courses in Åre?

– We hope that participants will get to experience

mountain orienteering at it’s best, and

will take wonderful sporting memories with

them from O-Ringen Åre.

Åre is the perfect place

to try MTBO for the first time!

The three MTBO stages will be held

unusually far away from what is

usually the central meeting point of

O-Ringen - O-Ringen square. However,

competitors making the journey should

be well rewarded, as the middle and

long distance events will be held at

Östersund Ski Stadium, famous for

hosting the Biathlon World Cup in the

winter season, as well as the 2019

World Championships.

Now the stadium and it’s surrounding area

will play host to two stages of O-Ringen

MTBO, offering fantastic terrain for MTBO

at all levels of difficulty. The tarmac roller ski

track weaves through the forest, and other

recreational trails make it possible to maintain

high speed on fast surfaces and with

clear catching features for beginners. The

technical and dense path network between

the main trails then brings in the opportunity

for fine navigation and challenging

courses. On the long race, participants will

get to enjoy many natural single-track paths

that have evolved thanks to Östersund’s

large community of MTB enthusiasts

during the past few years.

– Those that have followed the biathlon

competitions from Östersund will know that

there some quite steep trails in and around

the stadium area. Combined with the dense

path network, competitors will need to maintain

concentration while speeding downhill

so as not to miss a junction and have to

pay for it with extra climbing says Ingrid

Stengård, cartographer for the MTBO stages.

The sprint day in Järpen will offer a wonderful

mix of urban MTBO and steep forests

close to the town centre. Here, too, there is

a roller ski track and some newly built MTB

trails to cycle on.

– This is the perfect place to try MTBO

for the first time. Anyone who has run an

orienteering sprint will feel at home because

setting will

be quite similar.

The Järpen event will

also offer “come and try it” courses that

can be ridden on almost any bike, Ingrid

explains.

At the same time, the area will provide

good conditions for tricky courses for the

elite riders. An overly careless glance at the

map could cost crucial seconds in the form

of poor route choices among complex school

buildings, playgrounds and dead ends.

There will be a camping in Åre as well

During O-Ringen Åre there will be a

range of accommodation available

to competitors. Now we are able to

confirm that there will in addition be

an O-Ringen campsite to complement

the accommodation offered in cabins,

apartments, hostels and hotels.

When the planning for O-Ringen in Åre first

began, we thought that we would be able to

provide sufficient accommodation for competitors

and visitors in cabins, apartments,

houses, hostels and hotels. However, to ensure

that O-Ringen Åre 2023 can accommodate

as many participants as we would like,

we have updated our offering.

– It will now be possible for competitors

to stay at an O-Ringen campsite when they

make their way to Åre in 2023, says Niclas

Lidström, project leader for O-Ringen Åre.

The campsite will be built just outside

Järpen, around 20 km east of Åre, on an

airfield called Molanda. Here we will have

space for around 900 campervan, caravan

and tent pitches.

– When we met prospective competitors

at the stalls in Örnsköldsvik and Norrköping,

we found that many were asking about camping

possibilities, and so after some deliberation

decided that a campsite would be a good

solution, explains Niclas.

The campsite at Molanda will be smaller

than a typical O-Ringen campsite, but offer

the same services as previous years: toilets,

washing facilities, showers, kiosks, a restaurant,

café and other activities.

The campsite is located beside the scenic

Indalsälven, and should provide opportunities

for fishing, bathing, ball games and training.

Buses will operate from Molanda to all

stages, as it will not be possible to drive to

the events due to a lack of parking space.

– We will do everything we can so that participants

have a great stay at the campsite. The

environment is beautiful and the areas used

for camping pitches are mostly grass, with

some hard standing, describes Niclas.

– The campsite pitches are bookable on the

O-Ringen website, and the plan is to offer some

pitches with electricity supply. Clubs will, as

usual, be able to stay together at the campsite.

However, it is important that participants

book their pitches early, as we only have

around 900 pitches available.

As well as the O-Ringen campsite at

Molanda airfield, there will be a wide

selection of private houses and apartments

to book via the O-Ringen homepage this

summer. There are also some hotel rooms

available. However, besides the campsite,

there will not be an opportunity for clubs

to book accommodation centrally for their

members; clubs themselves need to therefore

co-ordinate private accommodation

bookings with their members if they want to

stay together.

Skistar also have apartments and cabins that

can be booked through their own website.

– Åre does not have large holiday villages

that are owned or run by the same company,

in the same way that for example Sälen does;

instead the accommodation is diverse and often

privately owned. This means that it will be

a little more difficult for participants to find

accommodation if they want to stay in the

same area as their clubmates, explains Niclas

Lidström, project leader for O-Ringen.

We will announce when we open bookings

for O-Ringen Åre 2023 via the O-Ringen

homepage and newsletter.

Welcome to Smålandskusten in 2024

Work on O-Ringen Smålandskusten 2024 is in full swing. Anders Strömbäck is the project manager

in charge who drives the work forward. He has been an orienteerer for a long time and is an active

member of Ankarsrums OK, which together with SOK Viljan, Västerviks OK, Gamleby OK, Vimmerby

OK, Hultfreds OK, Målilla OK, OK Njudung, Kexholms SK, IF Stjärnan, Berga SOK, Ålems OK, Kalmar

OK, Nybro OK, Emmaboda Verda OK, Torsås OK, Eksjö SOK and Alstermo IF are host clubs.

PHOTO: Blå Jungfrun, Alexander Hall. Västervik, Nathalie Chavez. Astrid Lindgrens Värld, Magnus Römbo. Kalmar slott, Marcus Funke.

The host municipality of Oskarshamn

at the heart of the Småland coast will

offer coastal and inland terrain across

three different venues over the week.

The venues will be unveiled later this

year, with work already in full swing.

Orienteers will stay at a shared campsite in

the beautiful Döderhultsdalen valley, within

walking and cycling distance of the centre

of Oskarshamn and close to areas suitable

for sea swimming. Whether you would

rather stay in a cottage, hotel or rent private

accommodation, all options are available on

the Småland coast. It is also the best location

for excursions, whether you are interested in

art, history, adventure, Småland’s traditional

red cottages, swimming in our lakes, boat

tours of the archipelago or are just looking

for somewhere to play.

With its strong industrial profile, Oskarshamn

is the growth engine of the region.

The area receives hundreds of thousands of

visitors every year. Of course, you will already

be familiar with Astrid Lindgren’s World, the

Kingdom of Crystal, Kalmar Castle, Västervik

archipelago, Öland and the national park

Blå Jungfrun! There are also ferries from

Oskarshamn to both Gotland and Öland

(summertime). The Småland coast proudly

and openly welcomes all the orienteers of the

world, and we intend to provide you with the

best conditions for competition, a wonderful

community and fantastic experiences to top it

all off. You are warmly welcome!

PHOTO: Amanda Hedberg.

The hosting clubs, which together with

O-Ringen and Oskarshamns Kommun will

host O-Ringen Smålandskusten 2024, need

to gather about 1,500 officials to be able to

carry out this festival. As of now, a local management

team has been appointed where

each area (competition, travel, experiences,

market, etc.) will eventually be represented

and almost all positions have been filled

with people from the northern, middle,

and southern parts of the county. This is an

advantage according to Anders.

– The management team's work is currently

focused on appointing a number of

function managers for each area," Anders

continues. Those who are already up and

running in practical terms are the cartographers

and this spring, route planners

and inspectors will be on hand to start their

work with the route planning, says Anders.

The project is in a phase where you look at

points shared points of contact to see what

needs to be done and in what order this

needs to be done.

– We initiate and involve the non-profit

associations that exist in and around

O-Ringen city and O-Ringentorget at

Smålandskusten 2024. In addition, we are

working to create contact areas with the

municipalities and companies that are very

much affected by the 2024 event. Here we

are greatly helped by Attraktiva Oskarshamn

and Oskarshamns Kommun, Anders continues.

But what does it mean for a club and

its members to step in as officials?

– The greatest part of the experience is of

course that the members of the club get to

be a part of the world's largest orienteering

adventure as officials. However, one must

not forget what a great and positive economic

effect the event and the hours spent will

have. Money that can be used to develop

club activities for many years to come. For

example, you can create opportunities for

Anders Strömbäck, Project manager O-Ringen

Smålandskusten 2024.

children and young people to develop their

orienteering skills at camps and competition

events or perhaps to renovate the clubhouse

or buy training equipment, concludes

Anders.

At Kolmården, the hosting clubs got SEK

5.3 million to divide between them.

Welcome to Jönköping

The clapping sound of fast footsteps

crossing the bridge of lake Munksjön

during a marathon, the electric energy

during the opening ceremony of the

world's largest digital festival, the

cheering of the crowd inside Husqvarna

Garden when the hockey puck slides

into goal. In Jönköping, events are our

main focus, therefore we are very happy

and proud to welcome the orienteering

competition O-Ringen 2025 to the city.

Vista kulle.

Along the southern shore of Lake Vättern,

lays the largest city of Småland. In this area,

the city and nature are combined in a perfect

symbiosis. Wherever you are in the city,

nature is always nearby. The region is a paradise

for both nature lovers and botanists,

with nature reserves, beautiful views and

one of Sweden's largest oak forests. There are

plenty of hiking trails and charming country

roads to cycle along in Jönköping.

In Jönköping we are used to big events.

Since 2015, the tough and prestigious triathlon

Ironman 70.3 is arranged here every

summer. If you ask the younger generation

what they think of when talking about

Jönköping, the answer is often; DreamHack.

DreamHack is the world's largest digital festival

with an international multi-million audience

and a convention with about 50,000

visitors arranged at Elmia in Jönköping since

2001. For events such as rowing, cycling and

orienteering, the nature is always ready as

an arena.

A city full of life

With an international university and a bit

more than 140,000 inhabitants the city of

Jönköping is full of life. The city center consists

of cozy alleys and canals that open onto

three lakes. Restaurants, museums, skate

and bike parks are just a few blocks away

from any of the city's hotels. A dinner by the

pier to watch the sun go down among the

sailboats or perhaps an evening hanging out

in the thriving Match stick area is a perfect

way to end the day. Perhaps the biggest

advantages of Jönköping is the proximity to

nature. With its soft paths, beautiful views,

John Bauer forests, vast bogs, lakes and

mountains, this is a perfect place to experience

the Swedish nature. Welcome!

PreO stages is now in full swing. The next step

is a first consultation with Jönköpings Kommun

regarding all environmental permits needed for the

various arena proposals that have emerged. We

will also have a first consultation with the Swedish

transport administration Trafikverket, public

transport and the municipality soon about logistics,

all buses, cars, et cetera. We also hope to get a

green light from landowners and hunters who will

be contacted during fall and winter to enable us to

present a concept during the next summer.

– This will make it possible for us to produce

good maps for all disciplines with time to spare,

says Göran Carnander, Chairman of the club

council, Föreningsrådet.

What we already know about O-Ringen 2025

is that we get an O-Ringenstad around the Elmia

area with its wonderful views of lake Vättern. We

will offer varied terrain with the Vätterbranterna

in the east, typical Småland morain terrain and

international terrain in the south. In addition to

this terrain box the region offers lots of tourist

destinations with food walks, cycling trails through

rolling landscapes, Äppledalen, Dumme mosse,

Husqvarna Museum and the Match Museum, baths,

shopping centres and proximity to Gränna, the

hometown of the “polkagris” candy, as well as the

island in the middle of Vättern, Visingsö.

This means that we can really look forward to a

week full of activities. Welcome to Jönköping and

O-Ringen 2025.

Description

The course is in terrain with clear and connected features such as roads, larger paths, buildings and open land. The controls on a

green course must always be placed on handrails and must provide reassurance that the competitor is following the correct route.

Control features may be path bends, path junctions, telegraph posts, buildings or other clear features or objects.

The terrain is the same as for green courses, i.e. clear and connected features, e.g. roads, larger paths, open land and buildings. The

controls on a white course must mark only the end of one leg and the start of the next. The control features must therefore be easily

identified and distinct. As well as green course features, controls on white courses may also be on e.g. boulders, crags, fences and

similar features.

Yellow courses can be in more difficult terrain but runnability and visibility must still be good. The terrain must have a connected

network of roads, paths, fences, waterways, open areas etc. Control points may be on more difficult features, for example on the top

of a very distinct hill, but must always have a clear attack point. There must be a clear catching feature behind controls.

Orange and red courses must use runnable terrain, with gentler hills and forest, preferably with areas of cultivated land. Terrain

details must be clear. Compared to green, white and yellow courses, more difficult control features may be used, for example larger

re-entrants, distinct ridges, hills and crags. There must be a clear feature a maximum of 200 m before the control and a clear catching

feature behind it.

Same as for orange courses but you can encounter all types of terrain.

All types of terrain may be used. Very physically tough terrain should be avoided. All types of control feature may be used. Compared

to orange and red courses, purple courses place higher demands on, planning skills, choosing quick routes ahead of safe routes and

finding controls without clear catching features behind them.

On blue and black courses, the difficulty should always suit skilled orienteers, even if anyone can compete. The increased difficulty

level compared to other courses is because more of the orienteering uses contour features, detailed terrain and smaller features.

Same as for blue courses but you can encounter all types of terrain.




5-DAYS

ELITE TOUR

Program Elite tour

Stage 1 Exended middle Monday July 25 Arena Pattons Hage

To compete in orienteering over five days / stages is the

cornerstone and origin of O-Ringen. That's how it all started

in 1965 and that's how most people still participate today.

The winner for many of the classes is determined by an

exciting chasing start on the final day of competition,

available for Foot-O, MTBO and Trail-O.

Our main classes with five days of competition attract the most participants.

Main classes have assigned start times for stages 1-4. For our

younger participants there are introductory and development classes;

Introduction (Inskolning) and Youth (U-klass). In these you have

open start times and get a result, but only Youth has a list of results.

Everyone participating in the Introduction class gets a prize. The final

stage is a chasing for all main classes, except Introduction, Youth and

DH10 – DH12.

The competition where the world’s orienteering superstars

compete with Sweden's elite. The Elite Tour is open

to Foot-O classes DH21 Elit, DH20 Elit and DH18 Elit. The

Elite Tour is open for registration. The 80 best runners

from DH21 will be selected and the 120 best runners

in the junior classes. Additionally, O-Ringen exclusively

invites the world’s top orienteers to participate in the

DH21 Elit classes. The competitions are specially monitored

throughout the week. Prize money is awarded in

all classes, with the greatest focus on the total result.

OPEN CLASSES

Open Classes will allow you to select courses with a variety of

lengths and difficulty levels, letting you challenge yourself or a

friend. These are avaliable for Foot-O (12 classes) and MTBO

(3 classes). Entry to Open Classes is not restricted by age or gender.

The course lengths will be a little shorter when it is the middle

distance for Foot-O on Friday. Every Open Class has open start

times for each stage.

In the Trail-O competition map knowledge is in focus. Each control

has up to five alternate screens. You must remotely determine

which screen is correctly placed according to the control ring

on the map and the control description. You compete in a class

determined by its difficulty level, rather than age and gender. The

competition takes place in easily passable terrain, that is trails and

roads that can be navigated by wheelchairs, bicycles, etc.

MTBO CLASSES

MTBO runs over five days and in 4 out of 5 days the arena is shared

with the Foot-O. Assigned starting times for stage 1-4, followed by an

exciting chasing start that will determine the overall winner on stage

5. MTBO is fast-paced and is very much about making the right path

and making quick decisions. The map is similar to the one used in regular

orienteering. The biggest difference is how paths and roads are

shown on the map. The road and the path's ride are reported where

you can simply say that the longer the lines on the map, the faster the

path can be cycled.

As before, it is allowed to double (introduced before O-Ringen

2019 in Kolmården) in both OL and MTBO. However, you may not

duplicate with the intention of reconnoitering before participating

in the other branch. If you participate in the Elite Tour, you may not

participate in MTBO stage 4.

to start with. Then you can gradually choose a more difficult and /

or longer course.

For MTBO, both orienteering technical difficulty and cycling

technical difficulty are indicated. Class/Course indicates the
