The orienteering club
"RIS" Delnice is established on February 12th 2000. It
promotes orienteering in Delnice, Gorski Kotar and
Primorsko – goranska county in order to someday achieve
the status of the Olympic sport.
It assists Club members in the quality development in order to worthily represent the club on sports and a personal level. In the area of Gorski kotar, club members organized the 1998 European military and 1999 World military orienteering championship and 2010 World radio goniometry championship.
Taking into account the regional competition Alpe Adria Cup in 2004 it may be concluded that the specific areas covered by green karst and proximity to coastal resorts are a winning combination that every year attracts a growing number of fans of this sport.
Orijentacijski sport - suvremeni oblik aktivnog odmora
Tranzitivni oblik različitih načina kretanja čovjeka u prirodi je temelj za
nastanak većine sportskih aktivnosti. Orijentacijski sport je vrlo zanimljiv
individualni sport koji omogućava svim zainteresiranima da osim fizičke
kondicije usavrše svoje znanje iz područja čitanja i primjene karte, te
upotrebe kompasa.
Orijentacijski sport zahtijeva
sudjelovanje, a ne promatranje, što ga čini atraktivnim i prihvatljivim, kako
sportašima tako i rekreativcima. Okružje za bavljenjem ovim sportom su široki
netaknuti šumski prostori, te, posljednjih godina, urbana područja u kojima se
organiziraju sprint utrke koje osim svoje atraktivnosti imaju i vrlo važnu
promidžbenu ulogu.
Form of human movement in nature is the basis for development of most outdoor sport activities. Orienteering sport is very interesting individual sport which allows all participants not only to improve their physical performance but also to improve their map reading and compass skills. It is not a sport for passive bystanders because its attractiveness and acceptability is achieved through involvement. Orienteering mostly takes place on vast untouched wooded areas, and, over recent years, urban areas where sprint races are organized, which beside their attractiveness also have a promotional character.
