October 2019
MOC – Mediterranean Open Championships 2005-2020 Over the years, quite a few orienteers have ‘Followed the Sun’ to Italy in search of warmer weather, good food and company, interesting maps and unique orienteering challenges: to experience what MOC has to offer. MOC has helped develop elite sprint athletes, as many of the races are Sprints. The key ‘mover and shaker’ and ‘concept creator’ is Gabriele Viale, a gregarious and effervescent character whose relaxed approach puts everyone at ease. He is very much a seeker of solutions and rarely accepts no for an answer. He is great with local governments/ councils, getting them on board and pro-O, enabling Orienteers to access and race on/round/in/on/through and even under, a huge variety of awesome areas, some of great cultural and historical significance. Born out of the international experience of Park World Tour, the main circuit of international orienteering races in historical centers and city-parks, the MOC (Mediterranean Open Championships) in Orienteering answered the need of a strong yearly international orienteering event in the Mediterranean area. The concept of MOC was developed by Gabriele Viale. The first edition of Mediterranean Open Championship took place in 2005 in Salento, with races in Carovigno, Gallipoli, Otranto and Brindisi. In March 2006 MOC was taken to Sicily and Basilicata, with stages in Palermo and Lagonegro. In March 2007 MOC was back in Puglia, hugging Bari district (In the historical centers of Bari, Altamura, Bosco della Difesa Grande of Gravina di Puglia), Salento (Torcito di Cannole Park, Carovigno) and Taranto district. In 2008 MOC was staged in Policoro (Basilicata) and in Oria. In 2009 again in Taranto district. Gargano Park and the historical centers of Vico, Ischitella, Rodi and Peschici hosted the edition in 2010. In 2011 MOC was all in Sicily, between Selinunte, Sciacca and Belice Valley. There was an extraordinary edition in Rome in 2012, and in 2013 it was back in Puglia with the final stage in Matera. After the celebration of the 15th anniversary last year in Malta, MOC returns to the beautiful Matera with a new thrilling competitions format.
