WELCOME !
Dear all Asian junior orienteers:
Japan Orienteering Association welcomes you to the 3rd AsianJunior and Youth Orienteering Championships which will be heldin Hokuto City, Japan from 27th August to 1st September 2019.
AsJYOC is not only a place where the champions of Asian juniorand youth are decided, but also an introduction to the international races, and a place where new friendships are born. I have participated in the 1st AsJYOC in Hong Kong and 2nd AsJYOC inChina. The experiences and friends gained there greatly enriched
my orienteering life.
We are preparing the best stages for Asian juniors in the technicaland challenging terrains of Hokuto City, a beautiful highland between Mt. Yatsugatake and Mt. Mizugaki. We are looking forward
to your challenge.
