After two European Rogaining Championship (2013, 2016) we were very proud to organize the WRC in 2019. We were pleased to invite the rogaining family to come to La Molina, located in Catalunya Pyrenees on July 27th and 28th 2019.

The competition area is close to the Cadí-Moixeró National Park and it is a beautiful mixed of clean forest and high mountains. Terrain is from moderate hilly to mountainous. The highest peak is La Tossa 2536m and the lowest area is around 1300m, around Alp village. This mountainous environment provides a physically challenging terrain where minimized climbs and drops will be an important factor. Therefore, navigational capabilities and route planning skills acquire a vital importance and have been proven as an essential factor for the successful rogainer. However is not a big area (less than 150 qm2) the difference in altitude will be a relevant factor.

The 16th WRC2019 event center is located 155 Km north of Barcelona, 120 Km east to Girona (Costa Brava), and 190 Km to Toulouse (France), core of a touristic region with a lot of points of interest. The transport and accommodation facilities will be another great factor for this competition.
