O-Ringen Play

O-Ringen is Sweden's biggest sports event and the world's biggest orienteering festival. It is held annually, during July, in a different location each year. The competition, which started in 1965, was originally called the "5-Days". As the name suggests, it takes place over a five day period, with an individual race on each day.

O-Ringen is a meeting place for around 15,000 orienteers who, in total, start roughly 75,000 individual races. Competitors come from the whole world with around 40 nations usually being represented.
