Officail T-shirt

Službena majica

We made our event T-shirt for those who wish to take something from the Event except great memories from the forest. We decided to go with a “retro” design since all of the races will be held in historically significant surroundings – old town of Križevci and old legendary Kalnik castle to pay respect to all the ones that were orienteering there centuries before us.

T-shirt is warm sandy color which fit women and men, young and those in best age for orienteering 🙂 and it is wearable in our “ordinary” lives.  It is made of cotton  fabric (190g) with a quality digital print.

You can order it with filling this form and buy it with the payment of 15€ on our account until May 20th. Please fill in your name on bank transaction. Account no. – IBAN HR6524840081101296342 (same as for the entry fee)
