Destination Israel for Warm Winter O-Training

Posted on 27 October 2011 by

When winter is cold and snowy in your part of the world, Israel offers the perfect climate for orienteering. The landscape is green, flowers are in blossom, and it’s the prime season for orienteering activities.

The Israel Sport Orienteering Association is pleased to announce the 2012 February Festival, an O-Tour itinerary that includes 15 training sessions and 2 days of competition at the annual Israel Open Championship.

Israel is a small country with an amazing variety of terrain and vegetation. Orienteering and tourist destinations are all easily accessible within short driving distances. You will be fascinated by the geographic, historical and cultural diversity of Israel.

Discover a warm and welcoming Israeli orienteering community. Let us know you’re coming, and we’ll connect you with the locals and help you get to orienteering venues and events.

Orienteering at 2013 Maccabiah Games

Posted on 5 July 2011 by

 

The Maccabiah Sports Committee has conditionally agreed to include orienteering — for the first time ever — at the 2013 Maccabiah Games in Israel. Final approval requires the ISOA to submit a list of 50 Jewish (non-Israeli) orienteering athletes by July 31, 2011.

The Maccabiah is an international Jewish athletic event, held every four years in Israel. At the 18th Maccabiah Games in 2009, over 9000 Jewish athletes from 51 countries competed in 31 sports events.

The ISOA is urgently seeking Jewish orienteers. If you are a Jewish orienteer, or have a friend who is, please contact Doron Kaynar, ISOA Maccabiah Coordinator:
ISOA – 19th Maccabiah Orienteering

We hope to find athletes who will participate in the upcoming Maccabiah, but no commitment is required when contacting us. At this point, we only need basic information (name, country, age, gender, email and phone number).

Please spread this message in the orienteering community.
