PreETOC 2026 is coming to Szczecin!

Before the European Trail Orienteering Championships begin, we invite all competitors to take part in PreETOC 2026, which will be held in Szczecin on 28–29 July 2026.

Programme
• 28 July 2026 – PreO

Although the events will not have World Ranking Event (WRE) status, they will offer an excellent opportunity to train in terrain very similar to that used for ETOC 2026 and to become familiar with the local mapping style before the Championships.

The maps have been prepared by Krystian Petersburski, the same map maker responsible for ETOC 2026.

Key officials
• Map maker – Krystian Petersburski
• TempO course setter – Jacek Wieszaczewski
• PreO course setter – Michał Koziak

For competitors arriving already on 27 July 2026, additional training maps will be available upon request.
