What is the Forest JWOC 2022: JWOC stands for Junior World Orienteering Championships and, in 2022, this competition will be held in Aguiar da Beira municipality. All JWOC races should have been done in July, but due to very high fire risk we had to postpone the Forest competitions to 4th, 5th and 6th November. To differentiate the July and the November competitions, we decided to call “Forest JWOC 2022” to the races happening in November. This competition has two classes (Women and Men) and only athletes born in 2002 or before are allowed to the start list.
Who is running at JWOC 2022: Only athletes representing their National Orienteering Federations are allowed to enter the competition. We will have the very best Junior athletes from all over the World.
How to follow the races: The best place to assist JWOC 2022 races is live at the competition arena (the place where the races end). In alternative, Organizers will provide a Live-TV streaming, free of charge, so everyone can assist the races from far away.
