Event Description
The Fool's Rogaine is one of NYARA's most beloved orienteering events. There is always a twist...
Remember...it's not all that it seems.
The Scoop
Teams of 2 or solos will travel by foot throughout the vast acreage of Stewart State Forest searching for checkpoints. You will travel along on trails and park roads. Checkpoints are scattered in the woods over a wide area. Each control will have a point value. Teams and solos must strategize in determining which controls to go after and still make it back before the cut-off. The sweet thing is that you can do as much of the course as you like! The course will be friendly at all levels because YOU pick the checkpoints to go after!
