Edinburgh! The Sprint World Orienteering Championships 2022 are coming to Scotland after Edinburgh was awarded the event by the International Orienteering Federation (IOF), beating Paris for the honour.
The Scottish capital was successful after an innovative joint bid was submitted by The Scottish Orienteering 6-Day Event Company, Scottish Orienteering Association, EventScotland, the City of Edinburgh Council, British Orienteering and University of Edinburgh to host the event in the middle of July 2022.
The IOF World Orienteering Championships brings together the best teams from around the world to compete across three main disciplines – individual sprint, sprint relay and knock-out sprint. An anticipated 250 athletes from 50 countries are expected to attend the Championships, bringing with them additional coaching staff and supporters. In addition to the main Championship races, there will also be a full programme of spectator races suitable for all levels of orienteering ability and competitive classes for all ages.
The Scottish Orienteering 6-Day Event Co Ltd is delivering the event as the Local Applicant on behalf of the British Orienteering Federation. Strathearn 2019 and the Scottish 6 Days 2021 are steps on the way to a successful staging of WOC 2022!

To celebrate the new permanent orienteering course at Culbokie (Black Isle) there is a Come and Try It event planned for Saturday 25th August. The local Community Trust received funding from the BIG Lottery Fund and Highland Council and it was very much their initiative. Thanks go to INVOC who helped with control sites and mapper Steve Smirthwaite.
Remember there are other opportunities for orienteering on permanent courses and seasonal courses (Glenmore and Loch Vaa). The British Orienteering POC pages are a good place to look for opportunities.

We all know that orienteering relies hugely on members as volunteers for so many aspects of the sport, so it’s only right that we should acknowledge your dedication and commitment, and help you gain and develop the skills that particularly interest you. Since 2013 we’ve been running Volunteers’ Weekends roughly every couple of years, and feedback from each has helped us refine subsequent offerings.
