HESR · HANGZHOU ELITE SPRINT RACE

In October 2026, elite orienteers from around the world will gather in China for a series of international competitions. Taking place between the events in Taizhou and Sichuan, the Hangzhou Elite Sprint Race (HESR) offers invited athletes a distinctive sprint orienteering experience in Longmen Ancient Town, Hangzhou.

Set among historic streets, narrow lanes and traditional architecture, the race will challenge athletes to combine rapid map reading, precise route choice and high-speed running in a unique urban environment.

With its rich cultural heritage and intricate street network, Longmen Ancient Town provides an exceptional setting for sprint orienteering. Beyond the sporting competition, HESR explores how international sporting exchanges can connect naturally with local history, culture and community life.

HESR is an independently organised international invitational sprint orienteering event. It is not an IOF World Ranking Event (WRE) or GOLD WRE, and results from HESR do not contribute to the IOF World Ranking.

HESR is independently organised by Migu Outdoor (迷榖户外运动策划有限公司).
