One of the favorites Gustav Bergman heads out already at 10:00 CET – 2:30 later Manuel Horta starts into the course as the last starter. Thus a long wait for Bergman after he finishes his race in JWOC Sprint – a tough race to win with more than 150 runners in the mens class and nearly 120 runners in the womens class. Being without a qualification race – JWOC sprint is a race were we can get big surprises in the top 10 – as 15 minutes of good running and orienteering is all it takes…

The sprint will be held at the University Campus on the eastern outskirts of Aalborg. The terrain is mainly urban with many architecturally similar single-storey buildings in recurrent patterns. There are canals, footpaths and scattered parking areas. Part of the terrain is residential. The mens course is 2.7 km with 28 controls. The womens course is 2.3 km with 19 controls.
