This week's orienteering course - a year-round challenge in the forest
Here you’ll always find the latest courses at various levels of difficulty. Read more here and below.
- A new course every other week, usually available from 1.00 am on Tuesdays in even-numbered weeks. Maps with course layouts are available to buy for 75 kr at the reception of the sauna and fitness centre. Copying the courses is free of charge. Bring your own map or buy one from us for 140 kr.
- During the winter months, the control points are marked with red and white ribbons, reflective poles and the word ‘Hellas’. In summer, only red and white ribbons are used. On rare occasions, Sportident (digital timekeeping) will be used. Information on this will be posted in the news section of our website and on Facebook.
- The courses are marked and planned by the leaders of Hellas Orienteering.
- This week’s route is also available on Livelox.
- If you’re planning to run the O-ringen in 2027, you mustn’t run this week’s course, as it passes through a closed-off area (a potential competition area). Read more about the cancellation here.
Trainings at Hellasgården on Tuesdays and open trainings at the club house in Lissma on Saturdays
Hellas Orienteering has training sessions every Tuesday, usually at Hellasgården's sauna and gym at 6 pm. For more information, email info@hellasorientering.se.
We also have activities at our nice club house in Lissma. If possible an even better starting point for orienteering.
During winter and pre-season we meet there every Saturday at 10 am. Good opportunities to try orienteering. Maybe you are a multisport or fitness athlete who wants to try orienteering. Here you can take the chance to hang out with talented orienteers and see and learn "out there"!
We currently have a lovely group of interested young people and parents as well as other adults!
We sell maps, Naturpasset and Friska Nacka
Nature pass: 200 kr/package
Map Nackareservatet-Erstavik (scale 1:15000):250 kr
Map Kärrtorp-Nacka (scale 1:10000): 140 kr
See also the course of the week above, a map with the course plotted. The area varies from week to week.
Do you want to organise school orienteering?
Hellasgården has a team of skilled orienteers who will help you as a sports teacher to organise orienteering days for school classes (or other types of groups). Read more about it here.
