The Sant Cugat City Council and OMET have announced the 26th edition of the School Orienteering Race, scheduled for Sunday, March 22nd, at Turó de Can Mates park.

Organized alongside the Senglar'O Orienteering Club, the competition challenges participants to find specific checkpoints marked on a map in the shortest time possible. Runners will use electronic cards to verify their progress throughout the course.
The race begins at 10:00 AM at the Turó de Can Mates School. Participants are assigned specific start times, which can be checked in advance on the OMET official website. The event is open to individuals and pairs across various age groups.
Distances range from 1,200 meters for the youngest children to 3,100 meters for the popular category. While trophies will be awarded to the top three finishers in most categories, the youngest participants will focus on participation without official rankings.
