Driving around various competitions in Europe, we try to find interesting solutions. The idea we’re “smuggling” this year is the absence of plastic cups in the competition center.

Special water taps will be set, and EVERY athlete is asked to equip himself with a reusable pot. The taps with water and water will not be missing, you are only asked to equip yourself with the right vessel. When organizing the competition, we want to produce as little rubbish as possible. At waterpoints in the forest, we will still use disposable cups.

Jacek Morawski: “Dolina Kobylańska is literally stuffed with various rock formations growing on its steep slopes. Numerous stones, rock walls and caves will be waiting on the majority of control points. This will be a real feast for people who value orienteering at its best.”

Wojciech Dwojak: „Dolina Będkowska presents steep slopes with a relative height exceeding 100 m. Numerous cliffs and rocks appears on the eastern slope of the valley. Westerns part of the forest is cutted by numerous ditches, and shows different kinds of runnability. In addition to steep climbs and downhills, get ready for interesting rock puzzles.”

As last year, we want to give greater prestige to the stage prize giving ceremonies. Therefore, they will be carried out at the WKS Wawel stadium, according to the following schedule:

11/07/2019 at 19:00 – decoration of the 1st and 2nd stage winners
13/07/2019 at 19:00 – decoration of the winners of the 3rd and 4th stage + decoration of top 3 at AGH Indoor Orienteering

And after celebration… it’s time to socialize! Evenings during the Wawel Cup are great opportunity to spend time in good company and reminisce about the old times. For this occasion, additional tables will be ready in the garden of our partner – Wawelove Restaurant.

The final prize giving ceremony, the culmination of the whole five days of running will take place on 14.07.2019 around 13:30 at the Błonia Park in Krakow. We can not wait to see you there!
