The time left to our competitions is running fast so we are delighted to present you yet another runner who will benefit from free entry fee. (Remember that we want to give you as many of those free packages as possible!) The lucky one is Jerzy Porzycz representing UKS Azymut 45 Gdynia. To be honest, we are quite surprised that we have the opportunity to announce this winner a month earlier than last year. We can’t wait for another 36.! What is more, we are happy to share that there are runners from Germany and Switzerland on our registered participants list. For now, there will be 14 flags waving during Wawel Cup! See you!

This year our aim is to create such event that every day there is “something different” awaiting the runners. This is the offer of diversified terrains, interesting competition center location and high level orienteering what will make Wawel Cup 36. unforgettable!

Similarly to last year, we would like to introduce to you this year’s Wawel Cup organizers and partners. Therefore let us start and present the main organizer, which is obviously WKS Wawel – Orienteering Team. Each year there is about 50 people engaged in the event organization. There are runners, coaches, as well as parents. The profit, which we gain is spent mainly on training. This event is held by runners for runners. While organizing, we try to look at the event not only from organizer’s but also from runner’s perspective, so that your needs are understood better!

Last year we scored 4. place in Polish Club Championship (minimum difference to 2. place), and after many years our youths succeed in European Youth Orienteering Championships. We hope that next season will be even better! You may follow summary of our trainings and competitions on our fanpage: WKS Wawel – Orienteering Team.
