Test of Mass Start Concept

Last Sunday the Norwegian Federation and the WOC2010 organizers tested a new mass start concept. This course 8,2km with 46 controls on a 1:5000 map. During the race the competitor were passing the arena 5 times and there were used a gafling system on the two first loops.
There were 125 runners and the start and the race was a big success. The course spread the runners very well. This was full quality orienteering. The WOC2010 organizers want to include this as an extra distance in WOC 2010 in Trondheim and we have to say that this test was very successful.
