National Orienteering Federation or MTBO Commission

  • Most countries with orienteering activities have a National Orienteering Federation (NOF) that may also include an MTBO commission or working group.
  • These organisations can provide:
    • Local knowledge on terrain and permissions
    • Contacts with experienced organisers and mappers
    • Access to timing and control equipment
    • Help with promotion and participant outreach
  • If no MTBO commission exists, you can often approach the Foot Orienteering body for guidance.
  • Many federations offer coaching or mentoring for new organisers.
