Rogaining
Posted on
Rogaining is an orienteering sport of long distance cross-country navigation involving both route planning and navigation between checkpoints using a variety of map types.
In a rogaine, teams of 2–5 people choose which checkpoints to visit within a time limit with the intent of maximizing their score. Teamwork, endurance, competition and an appreciation for the natural environment are features of the sport. Championship rogaines are 24 hours long, but rogaines can be as short as two hours.
