Participants of this year’s WMOC are offered a unique opportunity – Indoor orienteering event , which is going to take place in a classical track and field and football stadium as well as in and around its premises.  This building has the status of National Sports Facility and has served thousands of sportsmen and their fans for more than 70 years. An indoor orienteering event has been carried out there only once – last December, when the main spectator area hosted more than a hundred orienteers. The controls were placed both indoors and outdoors, which added extra thrill to the race as slippery and icy lanes and steps were included.
During WMOC this really challenging area will host an orienteering event once more – but this time without ice and extreme temperature contrasts.  There will becontrols on each of the four floors of the spectator area including different facility rooms. When choosing longer courses, participants may expect a control in the very centre of the football field.
Latvia is the leading indoor orienteering country in the world level. About 30 events are organized all around the country, the most popular of them count as many as 400 hundred runners per round. The various areas include both labyrinths of university lobbiesand abandoned factories as well as parking lots of shopping malls.
Registration will be open from 1 p.m. and any participant start time can freely choose their start time between 2 p.m . and 6:30 p.m., after deciding on the most suitable course. It is also worth mentioning that a parallel Trail-O event is going to take place simultaneosly. So anyone interested will be able to test their precision.
