Foot-O

Competing in an orienteering event over the course of five days is the original and classic format of O-Ringen. This was the format when everything began in 1965, and it is still our most popular competition format.

There multiple options to choose from:

Elite tour, for runners that want to participate in elite classes.

Main class, includes everything from the Introduction class for the youngest competitors to competitions with assigned start times, where the winner is determined by an exciting chasing start on the final day of competition.

Short class, includes difficult, but somewhat shorter, courses than the main classes. Short classes have open start times, meaning that you can start on any available minute during the start window. The final stage features a chasing start.

Short classes for youth is a little easier than the corresponding main class, and have assigned start times for the first four stages and chasing start for the last stage (except for D/H 12 Kort that have assigned start times on all stages).

Recreational class (Motion), These are easier and shorter classes with open start times each day.

5 days open classes, choose the length and difficulty of your courses. The classes are coupled with specific courses, and you can compete with everyone on that course regardless of age and gender. Every Open Class has open start times for each of the three stages stage.

3-days open classes is created for you who wants to experience everything an O-Ringen entails, but for various reasons can not participate in all five stages. Entry to Open classes is not restricted by age or gender. Every Open Class has open start times for each of the three stages stage.

Stage start is the option for you if you only want to run some of the stages or would like the freedom of selecting a different course every day. Maybe you like to do Foot-O one day and Trail-O the next? You can either sign up for Stage Start ahead of time or buy your entries directly at the competition arenas or at the competitor services at the O-Ringen square. Stage start is avaliable at all of our stages and has an open start time. If you participate in several stages, no total time is given, but each start is independent.
