Victorian Rogaining Association

Victorian 37th Rogaining Championships

22nd and 23rd September 2012

24hr and Roving 15hr

Location

The Victorian Rogaining Championships returns to the Strathbogie plateau on 22-23 September 2012. The plateau offers easy controls and countryside for novice teams and can be very challenging for the best navigators in difficult weather conditions. Much of the 2012 37^th VRC site is privately held, and landowners are kindly making their properties available again for rogaining.

24hr or Roving 15hr Rogaine

Enter either.   The enduring 24hr or the Roving 15hr where call competitors must spend 9hr off the course.  Ideal for a good nights sleep and enjoy the great Hash House food.

Course

Much of this course is on private farmland.  Enjoy the benefits of easier visibility.

Scoring

Navlight Electronic scoring and timing system.  Scoring tags attached to your wrist   Each Check point is an orange and white marker hung usually on a tree with a Navlight.

Check points have different score values.  Plan a course to score the most points for your traveling speed.  Plan to be back on time to avoid 10 points penalty for each minute of part minute late.   30 minutes late and no score.  Be back on time for the Hash House food.  All food included in your entry fee.

Checkpoints are an orange and white marker hung normally in a tree at a knoll, gully, spur or similar.  Three or four checkpoints are designated are water points we supply with water & fruit and patrol regularly throughout the event.  However carry your own water.

Results and winner presentation occurs soon after each Rogaine while you're relaxing with your Hash House meal.

Hamburgers, Vegie burgers, Stews and Soups or maybe salad in hot weather,  Also deserts with Tea, Coffee & Milo continuously available.    Bring your own Plate, Bowl, Cup Cutlery and Chair.
