Blog

Wolski Forest – terrain

The terrain for Model Event this year is a mix of all 5 stages. Wolski Forest is close to stage V location. What you will find in the forest are deep and diverse valleys (stage I and II) and various rock formations (stage III and IV). In the forest you will find also a high grass. Runnability is generally very good. The road network is well developed.

2D run

Looking at last years GPS tracking interest, we decide to resign from live GPS tracking and go on with 2D run. In a special tent, all of you will be able to upload your track from GPS. Thanks to it we can focus on evening orienteering analysis and observe rivalry in all categories. 2D run analysis will be available on our website and fanpage.

Course parameters

All courses are ready, it is now time for awaited course parameters! Bulletin 2 and technical bulletin – soon.

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!
