Due to a late spring, Cartographer Heikki Hautala was able to start the mapping for Virkiä-Jukola approximately a month later than originally planned. The first day of mapping was April 28 due to which the map of Jukola will not be quite finished by early June which is when members of the Jukola organising committee are to visit the terrain. Hautala does, however, assure that he will be able to present 80% of the map on June 10.

"The map is based on the 1994 FIN5 map which will be very interesting to update. The FIN5 map by Cartographer Jukka Pohjonen is, after all, of very high quality. From an orienteering perspective the terrain is challenging and there are plenty of good options for control points. Some of last autumn's storm damage is yet to be fixed which causes some dilemmas for describing the vegetation", says Hautala.

Event Secreatry Juha Nivukoski has been giving finishing touches for one the Jukola training maps situated immediately beside he competition centre where the hills are very typical for the Virkiä-Jukola terrain. The training terrain and the competition terrain are divided by Kahunmäentie road the North of which is dedicated for training while the South side is out of bounds. The training map has been finished in June and along with other training maps it is available at request from Event Secretary Juha Nivukoski.
