Come and Try-gaine

WHAT IS A ROGAINE?

Normally a rogaine takes place in the bush. Teams of 2-5 people use a map and compass to find markers. Points are given for each marker that is found, more points are awarded for markers that are far from the starting point or are a navigational challenge. Teams choose their route and attempt to collect as many points as they can before returning to the starting point (Hash House) before the clock stops. In other words, a treasure hunt in the bush where the winning team wins a chocolate bar. Events are usually 6, 8, 12 or 24 hours. These events are organised by the Victorian Rogaining Association (VRA) with teams from MUMC competing in most rogaines.

"Come and Try-Gaine"

This event is designed to introduce people to rogaining. It will take place in Melbourne CBD so no compass navigation required. You can walk, run or catch public transport (no cycling allowed). The event will start at Flagstaff Gardens. Whilst the event starts at 10am, it is best to arrive early to register, collect your map and plan your route. The event finishes at 12pm
