More details to follow.
Rogaine is a form of cross-country navigation, or orienteering, in which individuals or teams visit as many checkpoints/controls as possible within a given time limit. For this event we have set the limit at 90 minutes.
Participants travel on foot, navigating by map and compass. Instead of following a defined course, the controls may be visited in any order. Each control is allocated different points which are acquired by competitors through visiting the control.
The competitor(s) in each category and grade with the highest score wins! In the case of equal points, the quickest times will determine placings. Please note that points are deducted from your overall score for late returns.
Participants may return to the Event Centre area as often as they like, and do not have to stay out for the entire time allowed.
The event will be suitable for all ability levels (total beginners to experienced rogainers), with controls for less experienced orienteers (very near or visible from tracks and fences), and graduating to more developing orienteers, as well as red controls, which are designed for more experienced orienteers.
