GB Team to compete at the Junior European Cup

After the long tradition of the Junior European cup could not be continued in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. A team of 11 athletes and 2 staff will be travelling to Blankenburg, Germany to compete in the 2022 edition from the 30^th September - 3^rd October.

National teams all over the World have been invited to take part in the cup which will feature a sprint, long distance and a relay event.

In the long-distance event, the area is dominated by the rock castle “Regenstein”, with the character of the area divided into two parts. The southern area is mainly deciduous forest, mountainous with large and small rock walls and stones made of sandstone. The northern area resembles a dune landscape and consists of mainly pine forest. The runnability of both parts changes from fast high forest to smaller, runnable tickets to difficult undergrowth.

The relay is a hilly to mountainous terrain with a number of rock faces, mixed forest is dominant and the runnability of the forest changes from fast high forest to runnable tickets to difficult undergrowth.

The sprint discipline will take place in a typical half-timbered town with hilly garden and park areas.
