Event description | The Israeli Sport Orienteering Association is proud and pleased to host the 2009 Mountain Bike Orienteering World Championships in "the Holy Land". The championships will be held between the Ayalon and Ha'Ela valleys, home to biblical and historical sites for several major religions. The conditions will be challenging: hot temperatures, a scorching sun and dry terrain covered with an abundance of sharp thorns ….but we also guarantee an experience to be cherished in memory! |
Terrain description | The competition terrain consists of rolling hills of moderate elevation (approximately 200 m ASL) at the foot of the central mountains,- between the Mediterranean coastline and Jordan Rift Valley in the East.
