Press release: Partners Announcement for the 2025 Orienteering World Championships (WOC2025)
Värska Orginaal AS Becomes a Partner for the 2025 World Orienteering Championships
The Finnish Orienteering Federation and Kuopion Suunnistajat (orienteering club) are proud to announce that Värska Orginaal AS has signed a partnership agreement, making it the official drinking water partner for the World Orienteering Championships 2025 held in Kuopio. This longstanding partnership covers three major orienteering events taking place in Kuopio and the nearby terrains of Tahko.
The partnership agreement includes the following events:
- Pre-WOC on August 2023
- World Cup on September 26-29, 2024
- Orienteering WOC week on July 12-17, 2025
Kuopio and Tahko are ready to welcome the orienteering community and provide a magnificent stage for the 2025 World Orienteering Championships. Värska Orginaal AS’s participation in this extensive collaboration demonstrates their strong and valuable contribution to orienteering. Orienteering is a versatile sport that demands peak performance from its competitors both physically and mentally. High-quality mineral-rich water is an essential component of orienteers’ well-being and success, and therefore, Värska Orginaal AS’s drinking water plays a crucial role in these events.
This collaboration offers Värska Orginaal AS the opportunity to showcase its products to a broad audience at event centers, on social media, and in TV broadcasts. The Orienteering Federation and Kuopion Suunnistajat (orienteering club) eagerly anticipate working with Värska Orginaal AS, confident that this World Championship partnership lays a successful foundation for a long-term orienteering collaboration.
Värska Originaal AS is a 50-year-old company that bottles and produces natural mineral waters and other water products. Our natural mineral waters contain essential minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, and sodium. In warm weather and during physical activities, the body loses fluids and salts. It is crucial to remember to drink enough mineral-rich water to restore fluid balance.
Värska Originaal has been the official water supplier for running events organized by the Finnish Athletics Federation (SUL) since 2016.
