Pre-Jukola 2026
Welcome to compete on June 27, 2026 in Pre-Jukola in Vuokatti as part of the Relay League.
Pre-Jukola will be orienteering in the Rönkkö area of Vuokatti. Orienteers will be challenged by the differences in altitude and the slope controls. The competition area gives a good feel for the Vuokatti-Jukola 2027 competition terrain. The terrain of Pre-Jukola is mainly a continuous forest area, and there is only one forest road and a UKK hiking trail on the map.
The day after Pre-Jukola, the Kainuu Orienteering Week will begin in Suomussalmi, Säynäjä, where orienteers will be able to conquer the new competition area for the first time.
Come and explore the orienteering terrain of Vuokatti-Jukola 2027!
