1 Welcome<br />
We are expecting you!<br />
Dear athletes,<br />
We have one thing in common: we love the challenge!<br />
The International Orienteering Federation has bestowed on the Canton of Vaud<br />
and its Capital Lausanne the organisation of the next World Orienteering<br />
Championships. It is the goal of the Organising Committee, over which I have<br />
the honour of presiding, to ensure that the most favourable venues for beautiful<br />
and memorable competitions can be created and realised and to provide<br />
the best hospitality for the athletes from all nations. This is our challenge!<br />
By coming to Lausanne you will move around in the heart of a region where sport is king thanks to the International<br />
Olympic Committee and the many international sports organisations that have their headquarters<br />
here and the many National, European and World competitions being held in the area year after year.<br />
Your personal challenge will be to rise above your potential in honour of your own country and to show exciting<br />
competitions to the spectators of the country that welcomes you!<br />
Together we have one common aim: to share the passion for our sport which is ORIENTEERING!<br />
We are counting on your presence in Lausanne from 14 th to 21 st of July <strong>2012</strong>. See you soon!<br />

4 Sustainable Development Commitment<br />
The World Orienteering Championships <strong>2012</strong> are organised in the magnificent region of Vaud, between Lake<br />
Geneva, the Jura Mountains and the Pre-Alps with its nerve centre being the city of Lausanne. The organising<br />
committee is dedicated to holding an athletic event which supports sustainable development.<br />
Orienteering is a nature-loving sport and, therefore, the <strong>WOC</strong> represents an ideal context in which to create<br />
a sustainable project. It should be 1) economically viable, 2) socially equitable and 3) respectful to the<br />
environment.<br />
The organising committee recognises its economic, social and environmental responsibilities. It endeavours,<br />
with the support of the Canton of Vaud and the City of Lausanne, to conform to the following principles:<br />
Adopting responsible and consistent operational procedures<br />
Raise the organising committee’s awareness of the three above-mentioned components of sustainable development<br />
that should influence their processes and decisions. The Organising Committee will also make sure<br />
that the following necessary and responsible measures will be implemented during the event by the athletes,<br />
the spectators and the volunteers.<br />
Protecting the environment<br />
Protect sensitive and natural areas, avoid any water pollution and emphasise public transport to limit use<br />
of fossil energy and to reduce CO2 emission.<br />
Managing waste effectively<br />
Reduce the production of rubbish, encourage recycling and sort the trash.<br />
Favouring regional economy<br />
Work with regional businesses and offer local products in the food stands and restaurants.<br />
Raising awareness of the benefits of physical activity for young people<br />
Encourage young people to participate in the event and to take up the sport of orienteering as a healthy and<br />
sociable basis for their life.<br />
Integrating the population<br />
Integrate the event into city life and offer ways for the population to participate and for the local businesses<br />
and cultural enterprises to become involved.<br />
Becoming conscious of the need to act differently<br />
Raise the competitors’, the spectators’ and the general population’s awareness of the need to adapt their<br />
behaviour in order to respect the environment and adopt a sustainable lifestyle.<br />

Event Director Responsible for the environment and sustainability<br />

8 Accommodation and Food Services<br />
Accommodation<br />
Teams may choose their accommodation freely but are not allowed to reside within the embargoed area shown on<br />
page 19.<br />
It is extremely difficult to find hotel rooms in Lausanne during the high summer season, and we urgently recommend<br />
that <strong>WOC</strong> participants book an official <strong>WOC</strong> hotel via Lausanne Tourism as a sufficient number of rooms have been<br />
reserved at a special price. Please, take advantage of that offer.<br />
Most hotel accommodation includes breakfast and dinner (half board). Please indicate your preferences when booking.<br />
Please note that the rates and the availability of the hotels are not guaranteed after May 1 st .<br />
VIPs, IOF officials and guests are also advised to contact Lausanne Tourism!<br />

23 Punching and Timing / 24 Clothing<br />
23 Punching and Timing System<br />
<strong>WOC</strong> <strong>2012</strong> will use the SPORTident (SI) system at all the competitions. All SI-cards will be handed<br />
out to the team leaders for each of their competitors when accrediting their team. Team leaders<br />
must sign for receipt of the SI-cards. A charge of CHF 60.00 will be imposed for any lost or missing<br />
card. After the relay, team leaders must return all the SI-cards together at the Event Centre.<br />
Each SI-card is assigned by name to each competitor and must be used by that athlete only!<br />
At each start, there will be spare SI-cards on hand in case a competitor has lost, misplaced or<br />
forgotten their card.<br />
At each Final race, competitors will wear a GPS-tracking device.<br />
Starting procedures will be as follows:<br />
• In the Qualification races each competitor will be started at their assigned start time by a hand<br />
on the shoulder<br />
• In the Final races a starting gate will be used<br />
Finishing times for individual races will be recorded as follows:<br />
• In all the races except the Sprint Final, the times will be rounded down to whole seconds<br />
• In the Sprint Final competition, the time will be rounded down to whole tenths of a second<br />
At the technical model event on Friday, 13 th July, from 14:00 – 16:00, the punching and timing<br />
equipment as well as the layout of start and finish areas will be demonstrated.<br />
24 Clothing<br />
There are no restrictions regarding clothing. Athletes are strongly advised to wear full-length<br />
orienteering trousers in the forest races as ticks are very common in Switzerland which carry both<br />
the meningoencephalitis virus and the Lyme-Borreliose bacteria.<br />
Wearing shoes with Dobb spikes is not allowed in the sprint events.<br />

28 Public Events<br />
The Swiss 5 Days Orienteering Event will be offered to orienteers from all over the world, young and old. Athletes should<br />
be able to enjoy some high quality competitions and to cheer on the top athletes competing at <strong>WOC</strong> <strong>2012</strong>.<br />
We will provide the best quality maps and course-setting for the Swiss 5 Days. Tom Bührer, World Champion 2003 in the<br />
Long Distance, is the head of the course-setting team. The same map making team for <strong>WOC</strong> <strong>2012</strong> maps is also in charge<br />
of the Swiss 5 Days maps. Thus, we can expect excellent and demanding orienteering races.<br />
Day 1, Sunday 15 July<br />
Sprint: same map and area as for the <strong>WOC</strong> Sprint Qualification race: urban with very technical parts.<br />
Day 2, Monday 16 July<br />
Normal distance: same area as for the Model Event Middle Distance Qualification: dense forest with varying contour<br />
features, large depressions and rocks.<br />
Day 3, Tuesday 17 July<br />
Middle distance: same area as for the Model Event Middle Final: Typical Jura forest with vague contour features and<br />
rocky sections.<br />
Day 4, Wednesday 18 July<br />
Long distance: the only area used exclusively for the Swiss 5 Days and that has never before been used for orienteering!<br />
(NO <strong>WOC</strong>-races here!) This alpine terrain lies between Villars-sur-Ollon and Les Diablerets and is known as a ski resort<br />
in winter and a hiking and recreation area in summer. It cannot be reached by car. The orienteering race is being held in<br />
semi-open alpine terrain.<br />
Day 5, Friday 20 July<br />
Chase start: same area as for the Long Distance Final: fast forest with a dense trail network and many ditches. The most<br />

northern edge of Lausanne.<br />

(www.mobilis.-vaud.ch) and our specially organised transport. It also includes your trip to the prize-giving ceremonies in<br />
