Our popular Dogaine event is happening again this year on 22 Feb! A rogaine is a navigation event in which you and a teammate (and maybe your dog!) compete to collect as many checkpoints in your allocated time as possible. You will receive the map before starting and have a short amount of time to plan out your route. Checkpoints are worth different amounts and you have to decide on the best route and which checkpoints you want to get. Most of the travel is off track and up at Coronet Peak you will have some tussock and rocky terrain to descend.
Please note you will NOT be allowed to run on the mountain bike trails as this is a safety hazard.
You have the options of a 2 hour Rogaine including one ride on the chairlift, or the 4 hour with unlimited chairlift rides. There is also be a special 'take your dog' category (hence the name Dogaine) and you can use the gondola car on the chairlift to transport your furry friend up the mountain with you. From the top you will need to plan your way down to visit as many checkpoints as you can. The checkpoints are worth different amounts, rounded to the decade (ie. 32 worth 30 points, 85 worth 80 points etc.)
You should ideally find a teammate to rogaine with, but if you can convince us of your rogaine and outdoor experience we are okay for you to go solo.
