European Rogaining Championships 2021 (ERC2021) are held as a 24 hour rogaine. Additionally, a concurrent 6 hour open (non-championship) race is organised.

Organizers: MTÜ Seiklushunt and Estonian Orienteering Federation (EOF)

The Event Centre near Estonia’s winter capital Otepää (population 2167) lies in South Estonia, 43 km southwest of Estonia’s second largest town Tartu. The competition area (about 300 km²) covers most of Otepää Nature Park – the country’s largest, created in order to preserve the spectacular landscapes with its views and habitats. A beautiful hilly land has patches of both primaeval forest and small-scale logging areas, interspersed with open grasslands and homesteads – some of which are out of bounds. The majestic Lake Pühajärv (Holy Lake) and also one of the most spectacular chains of lakes in Estonia in the primaeval valley at Vidrike stand out from the myriad of lakes, streams, and small marshes that characterize the terrain between hillocks. The network of roads and trails is generally good. Many of the open hilltops and slopes provide stunning viewpoints, while both the pristine and the young growth forests can be quite demanding in terms of runnability and visibility in early September.
