Guiding

On the both days, guiding to the competition areas starts from the junction of roads 2 and 110), from where it takes max 15 minutes to competition place.

The competition area will be mostly in the middle of nowhere with no services. If needed, use shops in Nummela.

Map and terrain

Both days a TrailO map (ISSOM2007, as in ETOC), scale 1:4000, eq. 2,5 m. Mapped in 2019 by Janne Seppälä for foot-O and refined 2020. Terrain has not ever been used for trail-O and it consist of very hilly forest, surface rock of the higher areas, some relatively steep cliffs and an old gravel pit area. Thus, it should be a good rehearsal for ETOC2020. Routes in use are mostly small gravel roads, on one day there will be a steep hill where some assistance will be given if necessary.

Korona

There will be some special arrangement in order to diminish the amount of social contacts and touching shared things, e.g. time control maps might be individual and/or the marshall wont be presenting maps or flags.
