2000 World Orienteering Marathon Trophy

In the year 2000, the World Orienteering Marathon Trophy will be a series of three events, namely the New Zealand Rogaining Championships on 15-16 January, the Raid IGN/Francital on 10-12 June, and the Slovenian Orienteering Marathon event on 14-15 October. The two best results count for the Trophy.

The rogaining event in New Zealand is held over 24 hours. The venue is North Canterbury, South Island and the event is organised by the Peninsula and Plain Orienteers. The teams may consist of 2 to 5 persons. The Australian rules for 24-hour rogaining will be used.

The French event, Raid IGN/Francital, will be held in Hauteville (60km from Lyon). Standard British/French rules will apply. These include a compulsory bivouac with competitors carrying all necessary equipment.

The Slovenian Orienteering Marathon Championship event is run according to central European rules which are similar to those of the French event but competitors do not carry any bivouac equipment. There are two people on each team. The official invitation is due in early January.
