Rogaining is the sport of long distance cross-country navigation. Although championship rogaines are 24-hours long, events can be as short as 2 hours. Rogaining is a strategic sport incorporating map and compass navigation. Participants compete in teams of 2-5 people, choosing which points-rated checkpoints (controls) to visit – in any order – within a defined time period. Their objective is to collect the highest point score possible. (Learn more about rogaining at ROGAINING)
