Sharon Crawford and Peter Gagarin with their bronze medals from the Sprint Final.

With over 2,000 entries this year, the World Masters Orienteering Championships (WMOC) in Girona, Spain, was clearly the place to be. The WMOC is the IOF championship event for those aged 35 and older, and every year Masters athletes from around the world travel to compete, some of them against friends they’ve known for many decades.

All photos from Evalin Brautigam. Map snippets from Livelox.

There were 34 US athletes in attendance this year, from clubs all over the country. The highlights for the US contingent include three podium trips for Sharon Crawford (W80), who earned a bronze in the sprint, and silver in both the middle and long. Over in M80, Peter Gagarin earned bronze medals in the sprint and long.
