Event Description

• A Rogaine is a type of long-distance orienteering race where participants find controls (checkpoints) in any order within a fixed time. * See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogaining • We will have a 6-hour format, a 3-hour format ,a 3-hour format for trail runners, and a 60 minute version. • The map that we will use will extend from Riverdale to Canyon City and from the Yukon River / Schwatka Lake to the Grey Mountain Road. It will include all main trails and some old trails. • There will be 40 controls (checkpoints) out there, with points ranging from 5 to 40 per control. Route choice and which controls to visit is up to participant! • For the 3-hour runner course (20 km approx.), there will be controls on trails and control near trails and obvious features (large depression in the forest some 200 m near a trail). • Most high-point controls will be deep in the forest and will be part of the Rogaine activity. • Participants chose which controls to visit and their planned route, but must return within the time allotted. 30 minutes is given for pre-planning before the start.
