Event Location : TORUN, Poland
Tour Code: TFVET / POL 1
23-28 March 2015
This winter’s EVAA indoor championship event is being held at the new Hala-Sportowo-Widowiskowa complex: the outdoor throws, walks and cross country events are being held at the adjacent stadium and the nearby municipal park. Torun is a large town rather than a city and the competition venues are on the outskirts of the town rather than the town centre but still relatively close to our two hotel options.
