One Day Orienteering Challenge
As a "warm up" for our premiere Swiss event,
the 3-Day Alpine Stage Race in April,
we offered a smaller scale one day event south of Zurich at the
Spiffing Ales brewery. 12
brave participants took on the
35 kilometers of course and 1000 m of elevation gain; they would visit as many points as possible
in the 5 hours,
and the sun and snow kept them company all along the way.
The post-event beer and food from the brewery were a great way to wrap-up the day.
Here are the results:

We will share photos as soon as they're available, and we're happy to post the base
topographic maps used for the course. All participants were provided with this topographic
map as well as two orienteering maps:
We can also share the
elevation profile of the full 35 kilometer course (1300+ meters of climb).
We would post electronic versions of the orienteering maps we used,
but the Clubs who provided them would
not appreciate that; so the topo map is all we can share here.
Thanks again to everyone and to the
generous support of Spiffing
Ales for hosting our March warm-up! We also enjoy support from our official partners
MacPac, Teko, Aku, Marmot, and Aarn!
We might host another event like this in the Fall -- we'll have to see how our Fall schedule
shapes up.
