The university orienteering

The university orienteering is arranged in the autumn every year. Responsibility for each stage rolls between participating institutions and companies.

The stages are carried out on Mondays in August-October with a free start time between 16.00 - 18.00 and with 3 courses of different levels that suit everyone, from beginners to professionals.

• Short course (very easy approx. 2 km)
• Intermediate course (easy to medium difficulty approx. 3-4 km)
• Long course (medium to difficult 5-6 km)

The university orientation is part of the university's wellness offering, but is also an open event where everyone is welcome!

Important to know and respect

It is absolutely forbidden to enter the plot of land. Plots of land are shown as dark green on the map. Competitors who break must report at the finish, so the organizers know who is left in the forest.

Are you a beginner?

A good site to start with is the Swedish Orienteering Association, which describes how to use a map and compass and what different map symbols mean.
