Scottish Orienteering invite you to the Jan Kjellström International Festival of Orienteering.
You might want to extend your visit and make a holiday week of it, as there is lots to do in this part of Scotland. Check the Where to Stay section for help in finding accommodation in the area.
The 2015 World Orienteering Championships will be based in Inverness, Scotland during August, and will utilise the world class terrain along the Moray coast and in the Cairngorms National Park. The Scottish 6 Days will run in parallel to the Championships and will bring 5000 competitors to the area boosting the local economy by an estimated £2 million.
To celebrate 50 years of the Scottish Orienteering Association we are organising various activities including the opportunity to complete 50 events in the course of the year (16 April 2011 to 15 April 2012). The JK may just help you complete the challenge.
