World Orienteering Championships 2015
The 2015 World Orienteering Championships (WOC) will be taking place from 31st July till 8th August in the Inverness area. The Scottish 6 Days Event will also run in parallel with the championships and Glen Affric is one of the places chosen to stage some of the individual races for both competitions.
The Affric Kintail Way should not be directly affected by any events though course details are kept carefully under wraps in advance of the competition getting underway. We will of course be updating information as we get it.
However, based on the last time the WOC were held here in 1999 the area around Inverness should be extremely busy and if you are considering taking the AKW around this time you might like to prepare well in advance of your intended visit especially if you require to arrange accommodation. We have a comprehensive list of accommodation providers in our Services Directory on the website for you to study.
More information on the events can be had by visiting the websites at http://www.woc2015.org/ and http://www.scottish6days.com/2015.
