Official Announcement

Following the severe impact of Storm Kristin on the west coast of Portugal, including the region of Ourém, the Organising Committee has conducted a detailed assessment of the planned terrain for EMTBOC 2026. Unfortunately, it has been determined that the necessary conditions are not in place to host the event in Ourém.

In close coordination with the International Orienteering Federation (IOF), we have been working to secure an alternative venue. We are pleased to confirm that EMTBOC 2026 will take place as scheduled, though at a different location. Final confirmation of the new venue will be announced shortly.

Participants who have booked accommodation in Ourém are kindly requested to cancel their reservations. If you require assistance, please contact the Organising Committee.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
