A winter night series, run over 3 consecutive weeks in June. Come test yourself in the dark and build on your skills.
The rogaines will be similar to the 1hr Summer Series rogaine but just a little more strategic, use some subtle features and in the dark!
And a sausage sizzle at the end - gold coin donation.
Format:
60 minute rogaine - find as many controls as you can in the time allowed. Mass start for all entrants at 6pm. There will be 30 controls which will vary in value (600 points max = 10 worth 10pts, 10 worth 20pts & 10 worth 30pts). Similar to the Summer Series 1hr rogaine but with a little more strategy with the varying value of the controls.
In a rogaine you try and visit as many controls as you can in the time allowed, in this case 60 minutes. You will receive a SI orienteering chip when you register and you need to punch in the box which corresponds to the number on the control, proving that you have visited the control. Results will be downloaded at the end.
The series is a Junior fundraiser and is run by a number of junior members of the club to build on their skills and support them to compete and develop. The money raised from the series will be used to support junior members participation in regional/national level events and junior development camps.
