the International Orienteering Federation
The International Orienteering Federation is proud to welcome orienteers from all parts of the world to its biggest event. The Veteran World Cup is of particular significance in our international calendar of events because it exemplifies what orienteering is all about - for orienteering is more a life stile than just a sport. In their concern for the environment, in their regard for a healthy way of life, in their understanding of the importance for psychological health of exercising both body and brain, orienteers everywhere are united. And nowhere more so than at the Veteran World Cup, where mature adults so ably demonstrate that the fascination of hard serious competitions not confined to the young, and that it can be combined with good fellowship and friendship across borders round the world. I trust that all of you taking part achieve your own special personal goals. And have fun too ! President of International Orienteering Federation Sue Harvey
