Mauritius orienteerign news
The biggest success so far occurred on 1st June during an Orienteering activity in Palmar beach: over 160 participants were on the starting list!
Local organisers worked very hard during this year to test and develop the orienteering skills of people of Mauritius but also the skills to organise orienteering events at different levels.
The interest of this sport is increasing and therefore the local Federation is planning to enlarge the orienteering family of the country by organizing another webinar starting in the month of January 2024, wishing that many more new people and energies will gather to get help.
The big goal is set for the end of 2024, and get ready for it… 3 Days Orienteering Mauritius will be back!
From 21st to 24th November 2024, with a brand new competition area on the south of the island mapped by the locals!
3 events, of which 2 will return to the spectacular areas of Pamplemousses Botanical Garden for a very interesting sprint race and to Domain de Lagrave for a challenging middle race!
So… book your flights, let’s het ready for a new orienteering adventure!
