What is Rogaining?

Rogaining is the sport of long distance cross-country navigation, in which teams of two to five people visit as many checkpoints as they wish in a set time period. The traditional Rogaine is 24 hours in duration, however, there are also shorter events of 3, 6, 12 and 15 hours. Most NSW events are held within 2 to 3 hours of Sydney.  Most rogaines are on foot and held in attractive bush and farmland locations. However, some events are held in metropolitan areas (Metrogaines), or on bikes (Cyclegaines). Rogaining is an adventure sport and is a lot of fun.
