REGISTRATION GUIDE O-RINGEN SMÅLANSKUSTEN 2024
5-DAYS
O-Ringens biggest and most classic competition is
to compete over five days.
The winner for many of the classes is determined
by an exciting chasing start on the final day of
competition, available for Foot-O and Trail-O.
MAIN CLASSES
Our five-day main classes are most popular. You have an allocated,
timed start. Our youngest competitors get an introduction to
orienteering with the Inskolning class, where you can start when you
want and everyone gets a prize, and the results only show who has
taken part, with no times or positions. The competition is decided on
the final day with a chasing start for everyone except Inskolning and
DH10–DH12.
New for O-Ringen 2024, DH75 and older have a free minute start,
which means you choose a start minute when you get to the start.

PARA-I
Para-I is for anyone with an intellectual disability. The difficulty
level of the class is green (very easy).
The Para-I class is available on all five days, and as a chasing
start. It is open to anyone with an IQ of under 75, the equivalent
to attending a special school or having LSS support in Sweden.
You do not need a Parapsports licence to compete. The Para-I
course is very easy and is around 2 km. All five stages are foot
RECREATIONAL CLASSES

challenge. DH12 Kort has allocated start times on all stages.
DH14–16 Kort has allocated start times on stages 1–4 and chasing
start on stage 5. All other classes have a free minute start on stages
1–4, which means you choose a start minute when you get to the
start. Chasing start for all classes except DH12 Kort on the final
day. There are no DH75 Kort or DH80 Kort, we recommend DH75
or DH80 instead – see Main classes.

orienteering, which means that accessibility is not adapted to
anyone using a wheelchair or other mobility aid. If you do use
any mobility aids, we recommend our Trail-O classes.
The Para-I class is open for all ages. There is a free start for all
stages and timing using SportIdent. Competitors can be joined
by a coach/adult/friend on the course.
OPEN CLASSES
There are twelve open orienteering classes, with different lengths and technical difficulty
levels, that you can run every day. Start when you like.

MTBO
There are five MTBO stages at O-Ringen 2024. Start times are
pre-allocated and the competition finishes with a chasing start
on the final day. MTBO is high-speed and is all about making
quick route choice decisions. The maps are like those used in
Foot-O. The biggest difference is how paths and tracks are marked.
They show how easy they are to ride on. Put simply, the
longer the dashes on the lines, the easier they are to ride.

TRAIL-O CLASSES
In the Trail-O competition map knowledge is in focus. Each
control has up to five alternate control markers. You must
remotely determine which control marker is correctly placed
according to the control ring on the map and the control
description. You compete in a class determined by its difficulty
level, rather than age and gender. The competition takes place
in easily passable terrain.
