Delta (orienteering club)

Delta was an orienteering club in western Uusimaa of Finland. It formed in 1992 when three clubs started with joint teams and activities. Delta later dissolved in 2012. Hiidenkiertäjät then promised to keep training the best runners.[1]

The initial participating clubs were Hiidenkiertäjät from Lohja, Karkki-Rasti from Karkkila, and Rasti-Vihti from Vihti.
