Trainings

Similarly to last year, we offer you the possibility to join our trainings. However, they will be a bit reorganised this year. The control points for all 3 maps will be ready from Monday noon (03.07.2017) so that the runners coming for Wawel Cup can get to know the terrain earlier. What is more, this year we do not limit the training duration to one day only. If you feel like running even more, every afternoon (or even at night) you may want to go for a training (the control points will be there till Sunday). All maps are located around CTA “Żelazko” resort (Center of Active Tourism “Zelazko”). We want to have two shortened classic courses (Żelazko, Śrubarnia) and one more challenging middle course (Grochowiec).

training maps: Grochowiec, Żelazko, Śrubarnia

Maps will be available throughout the Wawel Cup in the competition office. One map costs 5 PLN.

We have yet another gift for you for the Wawel Cup 36. closure. To those who has not yet seen our previous news, below you will find parts of new Jacek Morawski’s map – we have it complete :) Stage V competition center will be located near the viewpoint at Czubatka, from what you will be able to observe emotion-laden rivalry during desert-style handicap. Beside Desert, which itself is a great attraction, there will be interesting subtle contour details, running on half-opened terrain, a bit of rocks, and if you are interested: a bath in the lake! We will do our best to make the last stage both a stunning spectacle to watch and technically challening competition!

“Generally I like this terrain very much and I consider it as one of the most unique and interesting among those I have seen in Poland, so I really hope it will be a real firecracker! :-)” – Jacek Morawski

Jaroszowiec

“As usual, Wawel Cup could not be held without Jura’s rocky terrain. This year it will be exactly the same….” The part of last year’s bulletin shows what is awaiting us in stage IV. Typical Jura terrain with quite a big number of stones, in addition: long courses with excellent run visibility. Something that Wawel Cup is already associated with! There is also an additional treat planned for some of the categories: the opportunity to practice navigation skills with a map scale 1:15000. This is an excellent chance to train before Autumn Polish Championship! Below goes the part of the old map, but the new one will be prepared for you by well-known and favourite map maker – Włodzimierz Dyzio.

All the best for Easter!

Our sportive family!

We would like to wish you all the best for the upcoming Easter! Let this time be calm, joyful and full of love and why not to wish ourselves be better to each other every day!

Obviously we cannot miss the opportunity for granting “Easter gift”. This time we publish Rabsztyn castle photo, the one You we will have a chance to see on 5th July during 1st stage. See you!

Olkusz Pits

The third stage will satisfy every orienteering runner. The terrain is absolutely extraordinary, scale 1:4000 and point in almost each pit. There is around 900 pits on the 0,7km2 of terrain – globally unique! The attached part of the map suffices to describe it. Let this terrain convince you to join Wawel Cup! Watch out cause even the best runners may go crazy here!
