The Slovak Orienteering Federation and especially the local organizers (ATU Kosice with many supporters) have already prepared all most important elements for your stay in Eastern Slovakia. The concept of this year JWOC is based on different types of terrain and different demands, value for money and social atmosphere. From technical point of view the organizers want to show you and to test your skills on almost all types of continental terrain from classic Carpathian terrains near to Kosice, via limestone areas in south of our country to detailed and technically difficult areas of middle distance, plus, for sure, the sprint distance which will be located in the heart of the organizing city. The Slovak Orienteering Federation is one of the smallest in Europe in number of active runners, but large in experience of organizing major IOF events. We will do our best with aim to follow our tradition successfully as well as to satisfy our guests with all aspects of the event. See you soon! Juraj Nemec President of Slovak O-Federation 2 3
