From 4-11 July, we would like to cordially invite all Swiss orienteers to come to Graz and Eastern Styria. We would be particularly pleased if some youth groups/squads would take the opportunity of a multi-day run in Austria. Please pass this information on to your members. It would be great if this initiative were also to find favour internationally.</div><div><a href="https://austrian-o-days.at/">https://austrian-o-days.at</a> </div><div><div><br></div><div><div>In contrast to 2022, in addition to the 6-day overall classification, there are also separate classifications for the 2 days in Graz and the 4 days in the forest. This makes it easy to split participation. The individual stages take place in different types of terrain. </div><div><br></div><div>2 Urban Stages in Graz (5 & 6 July 2025)</div><div>This time, 2 stages are planned in Graz, which are designed as at least a middle distance (requirement for the City Race).</div><div>- Stage 1 (Saturday, 5 July, 17:00) Jakomini district - workers' housing estates, allotment gardens</div><div>- Stage 2 (Sunday, 6 July, 10:00) Inner City (with many openings that are not normally accessible, e.g. through the casemates)</div><div>- In addition, a prologue/training in the multilevel part of the LKH-Klinikum/MedUni (1st stage 2022) is offered.</div><div> </div><div>4 Forest Stages in Eastern Styria (8 - 11 July 2025)</div><div>Following the ‘Urban’ stages, 4 ‘Forest’ stages are planned in Eastern Styria and Southern Burgenland.</div><div>These stages will be organised in cooperation with local clubs.</div><div>- Additional Sprint (Monday, 7 July) Hartberg - Deutsch Kaltenbrunn</div><div>- Stage 3 (Tuesday, 8.7.)
