| Angus Tyner | May 17 2023, 11:39am | Setanta Orienteers are proud to host the 24th Rogaine Ireland event on June 17/18th in the Wicklow Mountains. Two events, the full 24 hour course or the 6 hour ‘sprint’. The 24 hr event is for teams of 2 to 5 max The 6 hr event can be done as solo or with team of 2 to 5 max This event is a great chance to get right off the beaten track in some of the most beautiful parts of Wicklow. The event will challenge your teamwork, endurance and strategy all at once. A fair few folk use the event to train and practice their navigation for long distance team AR events and it the obvious next step up from the popular Nav Challenge IMRA Series. If orienteering events aren't long enough for you, this is your event. Entry via Orienteering Ireland website. 24hr Fees per person: 24hr €35 (€45 after 4th June ) https://www.orienteering.ie/fixtures/rogaine-ireland-2023-24hr-wicklow-mountains/ 6hr Fees per person €25 (€32 after 4th June) https://www.orienteering.ie/fixtures/rogaine-ireland-2023-6hr-wicklow-mountains/ 24hr will commence at 2pm Sat 17th June 2023 6hr will commence at 8am Sun 18th June 2023 Both finish at 2pm Sunday 18th June 2023 The Rogaine is a score event with the challenge to pick up as many points/controls as possible in the given time, with route choice left up to each competitor. Grid reference control descriptions are given out at the start of the event and you plot and plan your course in race time.We will be using the East West Map for Lugnaquilla & Glendalough.The 24 hour is a tough enough event if you go at it hard and try to keep going for the duration especially if the weather is challenging, but once you have a decent level of navigational ability, itis well recommended. Some bring tent/ bivy and camp out, some come back to base at night where you can camp and get food and others just keep going. If unsure of your navigational abilities especially at night then please do not enter the 24 hour event. GPS's or other such navigational aids, food drops, organised outside support, etc are not permitted. For 2023, the map requirement is EastWest Mapping Wicklow West 2021 edition. https://eastwestmapping.ie/product/wicklow-west/ More information about the event, rules and kit requirements check out www.setantaorienteers/rogaine The location of base camp will be revealed closer to the date. The after event BBQ is legendary |
