Take a look at pictures from our visit to terrain in June. If you thought there will be no Saturday afternoon race like every year then you are wrong. Prepare yourself for Christmas.

From the first moments of 2024 entries for the 7th BrOC will be opened on orienteering online!

As usual, we are eager to find out who will be among the first on the list since we have already made some bets. Will it be someone from a far away country or a Croatian; a competition debutant or a regular; younger, older or in the middle? And which club will Dale register as?

Entries will be open 'till September 26th so don't worry if you need some time to make arrangements with your friends and family and to plan your trip to the picturesque island of Brač and exciting O races from the 4th to the 6th of October. Bear in mind though that that you'll save 5 euro if pay the fee by August the 31st.

So what can you expect?

The 2024 Brač Orienteering Championship will consist of 3 races across 3 days: The Friday afternoon sprint in the ethno village Dol will be a Darko Sakar Memorial with special prizes only for winners in each of the 24 categories.

The long on Saturday (a WRE race) and the middle on Sunday mornings will be on demanding Gažul terrains.

The results of all three races will be added together to determine BrOC champions eligible for coveted stone medals.

We are hoping to add a few more little orienteering surprises as well, so follow us for updates and news.

Besides good orienteering, as many of you have already found out, the BrOC experience is one of socialising in a cosy atmosphere, discovering the island's secrets and enjoying fantastic nature and local culture.

Our logo is now visited by the Mediterranean house gecko, locally known as the tarantela. This small, fast, useful lizard that is protected in Croatia always has a smile on its face beneath peering lidless eyes and is known for living only with the good people. Its ability to cling well to stone surfaces and jump would certainly be a useful skill for orienteers on Brač.

Happy New Year everyone!

See you on Brač in a little more than nine months!

Each BrOC edition brings something new. We strive to fill all of you who make this competition really special, who are looking forward to it and are returnig year after year to the wonderfull town of Postira with joy.
So for the sixth BrOC we once again expanded the Postira map to include the Sardina factory. It is a leading Croatian company in fishing and fish-processing with more than a hundred years of tradition. One of many things our competition’s hometown is known for around the world.
That is why, after a sheep and a viver, BrOC 2023’s logo has a school of sardines on it (pilchards)! And a multicoloured shool of sardines (remeniscent of all the colurs of different O-shirts) has also swam in Postira on our neck gaiter. You know that after orinteering on land we are certainly bound to join them in the crystal blue sea!
Those of you who prefer orienteering on Gažul won’t be disappointed either. There is a new terrain waiting for us there too!

This year the long distance will be in the central part of Gažul area. After a few years we are back to pastures, sheeps and gold fishes. Who will catch goldfish and get three wishes in ponds on Trolokve at 700 m above sea?

Dear o-friends

We did not forget. During spring we were a little bit occupied with a competition in Zagreb. Nevertheless we had already started preparation on the terrain in February during our first field trip to Brač. These days most of the map work is done: Just a few more details left. Hope we'll make an interesting competition for you again.

Follow us in upcoming days.
Your BrOC team
