The team of the “Fortis” touristic club that was revived in April 2023 participated in the first large-scale contest – TourMarathon. The team has fully covered a route of 25km, checked in at all check points set by the organization committee. One of the participants has made a 50km-long way.
As a reminder, TourMarathon (touristic marathon) is a series of season 25-, 50-, 75- and sometimes even 100km-long hike starts across the cross-terrain with compass map-reading.
The participation in the TourMarathon allowed the participants to apply their knowledge and abilities that they obtained at lectures and seminars held at “Fortis”, precisely map reading with the help by compass and geography, as well as setting up camps.
