Rogaining is a sport of long distance navigation on foot for teams of two or more over a twenty four hour period. The object of the sport is to score points by finding checkpoints located within a specially mapped area over the twenty four hours. As checkpoints can be visited in any order, strategy and teamwork are important features of the sport as well as endurance, stamina and navigational skills, with night navigation a key element. The team members must stay together at all times. We also hope that you will find the time to stop and admire the views of this beautiful part of Ireland.
We also have a 6 hour event for individuals or teams. This takes place during daylight hours only – Starts at 8am on Sunday 16th June.
ARI Members may wish to enter the 6 hour event as Solo competitors But Only Teams will be eligible for ARI Team Series Points
The event takes place in the Wicklow Mountains to the south of Dublin.
The start/finish location for 2024 is Oakwood Forest just west of the Wicklow Gap.
