All stages will be held in WMOC 2020 terrains.
E1 (WMOC sprint qualification)
The Sprint Qualification race will take place in the Technical University campus and in the adjacent housing estate. The competition area is flat and consists of two different parts. One is the university campus with administrative buildings and adjacent parks. The second part is formed of older type of urban apartment blocks and small parks located between them. There are a few new residential buildings in the area too.
E2 (WMOC sprint final)
The Sprint final will be held directly in the centre of the town. The competition area is very flat with almost no climb and is a mixture of two different types of terrain. One is the historic city centre, consisting of a combination of streets, passages, courtyards and small squares with a few vegetation features. The other is formed by City Park. There are several vegetation features such as flower beds, hedges and some artificial features like statues and monuments. The arena will also be located in the park.
E3 (WMOC qualification)
Middle and Long qualification will take place only a short drive from Košice. The area is a combination of typical continental terrain with more detailed areas. There is a good path and forest road network. The tree cover is predominantly deciduous with very good runnability and visibility. There is only a small area of dense vegetation in the competition area. Navigating through the variety of terrain will require choosing optimal running speed.
E4 (WMOC middle final)
The Middle Final competition will be held in the surroundings of the recreation centre Sigord which has never been used for orienteering before. The area is located between 420 and 570 m above sea level and is rich in terrain details originating from landslides and erosion where marshes are not uncommon. The forest is mostly deciduous and offers good runnability and visibility. Only a few green areas are located in the terrain. There is a good network of forest roads and paths. Detailed reading of map in demanding terrain with combination of compass use will be a great experience for all competitors.
E5 (WMOC long final)
Silická plateau, the most popular and attractive part of the Slovenský kras national park, will be the venue for the last final race. The area is well known for its karst terrain that is characterised by big depressions. A great variety of rock details such as rock fields and cliffs of height of 1 to 3 metres can be found on the slopes of depressions. In the terrain there are several ravines originating from karst terrain erosion. Runners can experience three different kinds of vegetation in the area – deciduous forest with occasional coniferous trees, where runnability and visibility is very good, semi-open or open areas with varying runnability and visibility and parts of the terrain with dense vegetation. The competitors will find it challenging to execute the right route choice in this terrain.
