Registration List
(Updated Friday Sept 29)
A rogaine is an orienteering event where you choose which control sites to visit. Each control is worth a certain number of points and you will have 6 hours to get as many points as possible. You may enter as an individual or as part of a team. Teams may have up to 5 members and must stay together at all times.
Location: Fair Hill Natural Resource Management Area, Elkton, Maryland
Parking, registration, start, and finish will be at the Walls Activity Center which is on the west edge of the park. Use the park entrance on Md. Rte 273 just east of the intersection of Rtes. 213 and 273 and follow the O-signs.
Map: The event will use the 1:15,000 orienteering map of Fair Hill that DVOA has used in the past. To familiarize yourself with the area before the event, a preview map (with an old course printed on it) may be ordered on-line for $5 when you register. The club has also used three overlapping 1:10,000 maps of the park and you may order copies of these as well at $5 per map. You may use these maps during the event but they are not needed. Maps will be mailed if payment is received by August 22; otherwise they will be distributed in the registration packets. There is also a park map which can be purchased through the park office.
Scoring: SportIdent electronic punching will be used; the electronic punch cards will be provided and you must use the ones provided. Further details about scoring, electronic punching, overtime penalties, etc. will be announced at a later time.
