Rogaine 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 minute 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" is open throughout the event and teams may return at any time to eat, rest or sleep.

Winning teams will be both physically fit and good navigators. Teams travel at their own pace, pick their own route, and only go as far as time allows, 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.

Trail Run Basic play

Run down the trail. See wildlife. Trails are usually well marked.

Adventure Racing Basic Play

The AR Hall of Fame races will include Orienteering, Mountain Biking, and other events. Stop at checkpoints along the way and punch your passport to prove you were there.
