Rob's home of Rogaining

Rogaining is the sport of long distance cross-country navigation, an evolution from the sport of orienteering.

Overview

Teams of two to five members travel on foot, navigating by map and compass. A map of the area is provided to the team prior to the start, and this map has control points of differing point scores marked. The teams select their own order of visiting the checkpoints in order to maximize their score, and to get back in the allotted time.

More Information

Rogaining is suitable for all ages and abilities. For anyone who enjoys a challenge - this sport requires teamwork, endurance, competition, fun, and an appreciation of the natural environment.
