Rogaining is the sport of long distance cross-country navigation in which
teams of two to five members visit as many checkpoints as possible in
twenty-four hours. Teams travel entirely on foot, navigating by map and
compass between checkpoints in terrain that varies from open farmland to
hilly forest. A central base camp provides hot meals throughout the event
and teams may return at any time to eat, rest or sleep. Teams travel at
their own pace and anyone from children to grandparents can experience the
personal satisfaction that comes from cross-country navigation at their own
level of competition and comfort. One feature of rogaining is the
opportunity for night navigation and the extra challenges that this
involves. Although rogaines are defined as being twelve hours or longer, the
classic rogaine is the twenty-four hour event.
