It’s been ages since first ever JWOC in Romania, I was just a primary school kid in ’96, looking at future gods of orienteering running in Romanian forests, never thinking that I’ll be involved later to repeat the event, after almost 30 years, and put Romanian maps in the hands of the best runners of the world again!
On behalf of the Romanian Orienteering Federation, I’m surely honored and very pleased to welcome orienteers from all over the world to experience the greatest juniors orienteering event of year 2023, in Maramures County, in one of the greatest Romanian orienteering venues!
All our guests, participants in JWOC, JWOC-Tour or just officials, shall experience first class technical races, orienteering shows, but also entertainment, when you will discover local hospitality and the Romanian rich culture !
Join us for a unforgettable experience! Welcome in Romania, in July 2023!
