Swiss Orienteering - 200 orienteerders in the rain

Forgotten in the rain

The 2nd stage won’t stay in the best orienteering memories for everyone. After a 50′ long ride in military minibusses and having competed in the rain in cold conditions, the runners were supposed to return to the Event centre by military buses again. Approximatively 200 runners were left though in the rain for 2 hours, as the militaries had simply forgotten about them and already gone home…
The 3rd stage distinguished itself by a longer way to the start than any of the O-Ringen stages : 5 kilometers and 770m of high difference waited on the runners, for an estimated time of 110′ minutes – much longer than the race itself for many competitors.

Beside that I think this was a beautifull orienteering activity in Switzerland. Let talk to some people I know who where there. I see them probably in the coming days!
