An Awesome Sprint Orienteering Meeting
In Brussels!
In Brussels!
GENERAL INFO
The idea of ASOM is to offer orienteers an unforgettable, challenging and exciting orienteering weekend!
In 2020 we already have the 6th edition of ASOM. We started out in Antwerp in 2015, then moved to Ypres and Courtrai in 2018, 2019 was the sparkling city of Oostende and this time we have Brussels as our playground!
2020 is extra special because we have a really strong elite program in preparation for WOC 2020 in Denmark. We have a Mixed Relay on Thursday evening, Trainings on Friday, Knock-out Sprint (4 rounds) on Saturday and two Sprints (Q + F) on Sunday.
All other classes can try to beat the elites in the Mixed Sprint Relay on Thursday or watch the Knock Out Sprint Finals on Saturday. With 2 Sprint races on Saturday and a long City Race on Sunday we are sure this 6th edition can’t be missed in 2020!
For the 6th year in a row the Sunday race of ASOM is part of the City Race Euro Tour!
SPORTident AIR+ will be used during ASOM2020.
All other SI models can be used.
