We will make dedicated courses (orienteering beginner level) adapted for the youngsters and beginners, and they can be followed (shadowed) by an experienced runner. Three transmitters will be used and located within visual distance from tracks or other guidelines. Free or flexible starting time in the beginner class. This to enable adults to both participate in the main competition and to help own children or other beginners afterwards.
