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!

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!

Olkusz Drift

During Wawel Cup 36. second stage we will face quite a different terrain that the one from stage I. The terrain from previous year’s Grand Prix Małopolska will be expanded by western part of the forest. It will allow us to held the long distance in highly interesting terrain! The outstanding element of second stage will be the old Olkusz drift. The forest will welcome you with wealth of subtle contour details, half-open terrains and for the dessert… a warm-up before stage III!
