Unfortunately, the World Masters Ski Orienteering Championships races at 2024 Winter World Masters Games in Italy cannot be carried out due to lack of snow.
The SkiO masters athletes were supposed to compete in three races from January 13 – 17, but the amount of snow in the Sondrio region in the eastern Alps is not sufficient.
The races should have been Ski Orienteering’s second appearance at the Winter World Masters Games, which are held for the fourth time and considered the biggest winter multi-sport event for masters athletes.
IOF is looking at possibilities to include the WMSOC 2024 in another main event later this season.
Athletes who have registered for the competitions can have their registration fee refunded by writing to the ENDU secretariat via this email address: segreteria@endu.org
