Aarhus Festuge Sprint

Aarhus 1900 Orienteering hereby invites you to sprint orienteering during Aarhus Festuge. Both seasoned orienteers and exercisers who want to try orienteering in the city for the first time are invited to the event.

Orienteering in the city – called sprint – differs primarily from ordinary orienteering in the forest by taking place in a city or park. The routes are relatively short (between 2 and 4 km) and contain many items that can be hidden a little out of the way. The routes are organized so that there are challenges for all ages and ambitions. There will be routes for exercisers and speed runners, for young and old, and the routes can be completed by running or walking, depending on mood and ambition. In short, there will be fun, competition and exercise for everyone.

It is the 12th time the race has been held in connection with the festival week and each time the meeting place (starting place) has been located in a new place in Midtbyen. In 2026, the start and finish will be on the lawn in Åparken by Carl Blochs Gade

It is possible to start between 17:00 and 18:00 on Thursday 3 September.

The price to participate is DKK 80 for adults and DKK 50 for children/young people under 21. In addition, there is a possible rental of DKK 15.

Members of orienteering clubs can register at O-service. Others who want to try running an urban orienteering race can turn up on the day between 16:30 and 18:00 and get guidance before they go out for a run.

The best festive week greetings
