Today we offer a bonus leg in Route to Christmas 2024 – a second leg from the World Cup Final long race.
This course was already featured on Day 19 – but the leg to control 13 was interesting enough to make a bonus leg. Especially with this being the area for next year’s World Orienteering Championships!
The leg is as usually first provided without routes – you may take a look at it and think about how you would attack this leg (if the image is too small, you may click on it to get it larger):

You find other maps from the area in omaps.worldofo.com here. See also latest additions in 3DRerun from this area in order to learn more about this terrain type.
Webroute
Next you can draw your own route using the ‘Webroute’ below. Think through how you would attack this leg, and draw the route you would have made. Some comments about why you would choose a certain route are always nice for the other readers.
Then you can take a look at how the runners have solved this leg below. The routes are colored according to fastest split time on the leg, with the fastest routes in green and the slowest in red.
Below the routes are colored according to variant to give a clearer view of the how many runners chose each variant.
As you can see, here it is quite clearly faster to go left (blue) – and actually more than half of the field took the right choice. So far, so good. But looking in more detail at who took which route (see the illustrations and the list of routes according to finishing rank below), we see something very interesting: Of the top 7 finishers, only one(!) took the blue route to the left. And the blue route seems to be around a minute faster. This type of route choice could be very decisive at next years’ World Orienteering Championships ….

Route to Christmas series
The Route to Christmas series is a pre-Christmas tradition at World of O – giving the readers the opportunity to do one Route Choice Challenge each day from December 1st until December 24th. If you have got any good legs in GPSSeuranta, 3DRerun, Loggator or Livelox from 2024-competitions, or old forgotten ones which are still interesting, please email me the link at Jan@Kocbach.net, and I’ll consider including it in Route to Christmas if it looks good. Route to Christmas gets interesting due to YOUR contribute!
Not all legs are taken for the interesting routechoice alternatives – some are also taken because the map is interesting – or because it is not straightforward to see what to do on a certain leg. Any comments are welcome – especially if you ran the event chosen for todays leg!
