I am considering joining several Multi-day events in this summer: O-ringen(of course), Fin 5, Highland 6 Days, WMOC(spectator races)

anyone has any information or opinion about the style, terrain, atmosphere, etc of these races?

Thanks

Tundra/Desert:

Personal subjective opinion (I know some will strongly disagree):

Best technical stuff: Fin 5. Go there if you indeed want to fully realize how really horrible an orienteer you are.

Biggest party: O-ringen. Party, baby. Orienteering? Oh yeah, it's that part between the 7-km walk to the start and the mudswim from the finish. Some of that, yes.

Highland 6 days has some fantastic maps this year and I would highly recommend it, though the weather can be variable (it can also be sunny though!). Wouldn't bother with the World Champs unless you are keen on watching, the orienteering is likely to be terrible.
