Travel Directions
From Aarhus Airport
Aarhus Airport is very small. There is a bus service to Aarhus leaving after each scheduled flight arrival. The bus leaves from just outside the airport building and stops at Radisson SAS Hotel on request.
From Aarhus railway and bus stations
It is only a short walk from the railway and bus stations to the Radisson SAS Hotel.
The IOF/VIP/Media Race
The race will be very informal and is planned to be a good social occasion. You choose your own start time. There will be refreshments (sandwiches, soft drinks and beer), so please let Birthe Helms, in the IOF Secretariat at the hotel, know if you want to attend.
Reception, 3rd August
The reception is hosted by Aarhus City Council. Everybody accredited will be invited to attend. A light buffet will be provided.

Everybody accredited is invited to attend the WOC Banquet at a cost of 20 Euro, to be paid on checking in at the IOF Secretariat in the hotel.
