Basic play
Teams of one to four members visit as many checkpoints as possible in the time allowed. Checkpoints are scored one point. Late teams will have one point deducted for every two minutes they are late - starting at one second late.
Teams travel entirely on foot, navigating by map and compass between checkpoints in terrain that varies from open farmland to hilly forest. Team members stay within earshot of each other. A central base camp known as a "hash house" provides hot meals throughout the event and teams may return at any time to eat, rest or sleep.
Winning teams will be both fiscally fit and good navigators. Teams travel at their own pace, so anyone from children to grandparents can experience the personal satisfaction that comes from cross-country navigation at their own level of competition and comfort.
