EUROMEETING 2018 DENMARK
EUROMEETING 2018 DENMARK
21-23 September 2018
Welcome The WOC2020 organising team warmly welcomes you to the 2018 edition of Euromeeting. It has become a tradition that WOC organisers two years in advance of their event invite the athletes to participate in Euromeeting. This gives the athletes an opportunity to see, feel and taste some of the expected challenges they will meet two years later. This years’ version of Euromeeting will not let you down! Our WOC2020 mapper and course setters are ready to prepare interesting and challenging orienteering for you, just like they will in two years. We have also prepared a program with the very same competition formats – Mixed sprint relay, Knockout sprint and traditional sprint. Last but not least, these competitions will be held in WOC relevant terrains. On behalf of the organising team, Flemming Jørgensen, Competition Director, WOC2020.
Location and venue Euromeeting 2018 will take place in the Triangle Region located in the central part of Denmark. The Triangle Region will also host the World Orienteering Championships in 2020, so Euromeeting will be a perfect opportunity to see what awaits in 2020. The core of the region is defined by the three triangle towns Fredericia, Kolding and Vejle. The Triangle Region has some of the country’s most scenic spots and access to a coastline of more than 240 km. The area is rich in history and culture and comprise two UNESCO World Heritage sites. One of these sites – Christiansfeld – will host the traditional sprint competition. The venue, the event centre and the main location for accommodation will be in Kolding at Danhostel Kolding (https://danhostelkolding.dk/en/).

Knockout finals, (Assens): The finals of the knockout competition will take place in Assens, which is an old town located at the SW coast of Funen. The competition terrain will include a complex old town area with intricate backyards and narrow alleyways. In the sub-urban parts it will include modern residential areas with apartment buildings, but also public buildings. The area is nearly flat, and the ground will mainly be hard. We will offer technically demanding sprint orienteering.
Sprint (Christiansfeld): The Sprint will be held in the town of Christiansfeld, which is an UNESCO World heritage site – founded in 1773 by the Moravian Church. The road network is symmetrically constructed and to a large degree paved with cobblestones. The competition terrain will include the old town area with some backyards and narrow passages between townhouses. In the modern part of the town, the athletes will meet areas of parkland and lawns with extensive path networks, but also areas with public buildings and single family houses. This terrain will offer a mixture of technically demanding orienteering and route choice orienteering.
