Our First Event for the year draws closer
Rogaining is an orienteering sport of cross-country navigation, involving both route planning and navigation between checkpoints using an event map that is provided. In a Rogaine, teams of two to five people choose which checkpoints to visit within the time limit with the intent of maximising their score. Teamwork, endurance, competition and an appreciation for the natural environment are features of the sport. It can be competitive, it can be a laugh, it can be both. It’s what you make it to be. Our first Event is scheduled for Saturday 21st February commencing from Dripstone Secondary College in Tiwi. This provides the ideal location to place controls in the Burbs, the Bush and some at the Beach.
The Course area will probably be from Lee Point to Nightcliff, and all those Burby bits that adjoin our Coastal space.
The event will be using MapRun as a safety and scoring tool. MapRun uses Smart Phones for punching and timing. You also use your Garmin device if you don’t want to carry a phone.
There will be a 5 & 3 hour Foot events plus a 3.5 hour Bike event.
Maps are out from 1:00 pm.
5-hour Foot starts at 3:00 pm.
3.5-hour Bike Starts at 4:00pm.
3-hour Foot starts at 4:00 pm.
Get your team together for a Blissful bit of Monsoon Adventure amongst some of Darwin's best Burbs, Bush and Beaches.
Now that the normal December and January festivities are over, it’s now time to start looking at the year ahead. Please give some consideration in assisting with events in any way possible please. This year we are aiming to do a couple of bush events throughout the course of the dry season and another couple of Metro events amongst them as well. It would be nice to see some new faces having a crack at setting an event, there’s people around who are well experienced that can assist every step of the way.
