Welcome to WTOC

Welcome to Scotland and to WTOC2012. The forested sand dunes of Tentsmuir will provide a very high level of technical challenge for TrailO and can easily accommodate two days of elite competition in contrasting terrain. The courses will be testing and the winners will be worthy World Champions.

Tentsmuir lies in the ancient Scottish Kingdom of Fife, home to Scotland's capital for six centuries, with a wealth of places of historic interest. Close to Tentsmuir is the Royal Burgh of St Andrews, home of golf and of Scotland’s oldest university, whilst the event centre and accommodation will be across the River Tay in the City of Discovery, Dundee.
All this and a warm Scottish welcome will ensure a fitting stage for a memorable World Trail Orienteering Championships.

There will be a full programme of public events mirroring the WTOC competition – giving the opportunity to test skills against the world’s best. Combined with the Scottish Championships Jubilee 5 and other local footO events in the area, this gives a full nine days of orienteering including classic footO, relay, sprintO, middle distance, MTBO, tempO and trailO.
