Equipped with the Swiss-O-Finder app or a printed orienteering map, participants discover the most diverse facets of the charming small town on the Aare. Whether leisurely strolling through the alleys or jogging in pursuit of the best time - everyone sets their own pace.
How does it work?
All you need for the run is the free Swiss-O-Finder app and a certain amount of spirit of discovery. To start the run with timing, scan the QR code at the starting post with the app. If you don't want to use the Swiss-O-Finder app, you can print out the map free of charge at www.swiss-o-finder.ch or obtain it from the Solothurn Tourist Office and set off for the starting post. Instead of the app, you can also use a pen to write down the letter codes and the start and finish times at each post. The letter combination can be checked at the end of the orienteering run on the website of www.swiss-o-finder.ch.
