The organiser’s motto is Sport, Nature and Culture unite: the competitions shall be won by the best masters orienteers in the world, they shall be a social forum for all masters orienteers, and they shall develop orienteering as a sport for the general public.
The IOF Council further appointed Italy the organiser of World Masters Orienteering Championships 2013, which will be staged as part of the World Masters Games 2013 in Turin.
