This evening the traditional international season opening in Denmark – Spring Cup – starts with a night orienteering relay and night orienteering race. Although other events have taken over part of Spring Cups role as the place where all the best meet at the start of the season, there is a very good elite start field in Denmark this year as well.
Some of the top names on the startlist are Olav Lundanes, Kiril Nikilov, Baptiste Rollier, Matthias Merz, Daniel Hubmann, Mikhail Mamleev, Jani Lakanen, Pasi Ikonen and Tero Föhr.
Program
- Friday March 26th 2010: Night Relay/Sprint, Hornbæk Plantage
- Saturday March 27th 2010: Long WRE, Gribskov North/Gribskov Mårum
- Sunday March 28th 2010: Relay, Gribskov Mårum
For classic and relay part of the Gribskov area is used – you find old maps from Gribskov here.
Relay training
Many clubs use Spring Cup as part of their training for the big relays 10Mila and Jukola. As a consequence of this, Spring Cup now has two relays on the program: A night relay on Friday evening and the traditional day relay on Sunday. Some runners will even skip the individual race on Saturday, and only run the two relays (e.g. Anne Margrethe Hausken according to OPN.no).
Results and maps
We will try to deliver maps and results from the events during the weekend. If you don’t find anything at the front page of World of O, take a look here:
