28 Public Events The Swiss 5 Days Orienteering Event will be offered to orienteers from all over the world, young and old. Athletes should be able to enjoy some high quality competitions and to cheer on the top athletes competing at WOC 2012. We will provide the best quality maps and course-setting for the Swiss 5 Days. Tom Bührer, World Champion 2003 in the Long Distance, is the head of the course-setting team. The same map making team for WOC 2012 maps is also in charge of the Swiss 5 Days maps. Thus, we can expect excellent and demanding orienteering races. Day 1, Sunday 15 July Sprint: same map and area as for the WOC Sprint Qualification race: urban with very technical parts. Day 2, Monday 16 July Normal distance: same area as for the Model Event Middle Distance Qualification: dense forest with varying contour features, large depressions and rocks. Day 3, Tuesday 17 July Middle distance: same area as for the Model Event Middle Final: Typical Jura forest with vague contour features and rocky sections. Day 4, Wednesday 18 July Long distance: the only area used exclusively for the Swiss 5 Days and that has never before been used for orienteering! (NO WOC-races here!) This alpine terrain lies between Villars-sur-Ollon and Les Diablerets and is known as a ski resort in winter and a hiking and recreation area in summer. It cannot be reached by car. The orienteering race is being held in semi-open alpine terrain. Day 5, Friday 20 July Chase start: same area as for the Long Distance Final: fast forest with a dense trail network and many ditches. The most beautiful areas have been selected. The Jorat at 900 m altitude is the largest forest in the Canton Vaud, situated on the northern edge of Lausanne. Transport: The use of private cars is permitted and sufficient parking spaces will be provided. However, we encourage participants to use the public transport system and, where it is necessary, our special transport to bring you right to the event areas. Your registration fee includes a pass to the whole public transport network system for 8 days in the region of Lausanne (www.mobilis.-vaud.ch) and our specially organised transport. It also includes your trip to the prize-giving ceremonies in Ouchy in the evening or any other travelling you might want to do around Lausanne. In Switzerland, public transport is very reliable with trains and buses usually running every hour or half-hour. We offer the same pass for accompanying people for CHF 100.00 for adults and CHF 60.00for children. They have to be ordered at the WOC business office before 31st May (transport@woc2012.ch).
