Waste sorting

During this year Wawel Cup, we will implement waste sorting into the following categories: plastic, glass, aluminum, paper and organic waste. This information will be included in the bulletin and repeated throughout the event. We ask the group leaders to share the topic within their teams.

Sikornik – terrain

In beginning of the last week of preparations for the competition, we present the description of the area of stage number five. The race, which will be held almost in the center of Krakow, will take place mostly in the forest surrounding the Kościuszko Mound. There is a large number of roads and paths and all kinds of contour details – depressions, troughs, mounds, rock walls. The runnability varies from good to, in some places, difficult. Lot of climbing – the relative height from the lowest to the highest point – 75 meters.

The end of the course will be held around the Cracovia hall. For this reason, we arranged a change of map scale for some categories. The last point on the forest map will be the start on the sprint map. Finish at Krakow’s Błonia, in the heart of the Polish kings’ capital!

Map scales

All our maps are ready, we are about to finish building the courses… therefore we want to let you know that based on our experience last year, we decided to shorten the courses. At the same time we want to highlight that shortened long distance and four middle distances will make you experience orienteering to the fullest!

For the oldest and the youngest categories we introduced enlarged scales, here follows a table with schedule for whole 5 days. See you there!
