GRAB A MAP

This section is designed for beginners who would like to learn how it all works. $50 per team. Non competetive introduction to Rogaining. We give you a map and instruction on how to read it/navigate. Then you can head out and see how many ‘controls’ you can find. No merit prizes but some spot prizes. Start when ever you like after 10.30am, must be back by 4pm. Does not include race-pack or post event meal.

If you’re not just sure what a ‘Rogaine’ is then check out this link for the official word.

Terry likes to think of it as ‘strategic mountain running in a team’. If you like running trails, running/tramping in the hills and mountains with your mates you will love rogaining.  If you have any other questions we would love to talk to you.  We are also happy to give some navigational tips to anybody that is interested. We have up to 6 and up to 12 hour options, that is, you have up to exactly 6 or 12 hours (there is no penalty for coming home early, coming home late inccurs a time penalty)  to get to and record the codes of as many check points as you can. Some check points are worth more than others so you have to be startegic about which ones you will aim for- it is very rear in a rogaine that you will get to all the check points.
