Event date for Raccoongaine in 2021 is set for the weekend of Sat-Sun March 27-28.
The event in 2020 was cancelled just a few weeks before it was supposed to happen. The 2021 will implement the same course that was designed for the 2020 event, so, very little scouting, ribbon-placing, and vetting will be required for the 2021 event.
Noticed that the Flying Pig national O-meet in year 2020 is happening earlier that usual, on the 3rd week of March.
btw, reason for which Raccoongaine is never in the month of April is because the park administrators place access restrictions to the camping areas. That's why Raccoongaine is (almost) always on the last weekend of month of March.
It's too early to predict what other conditions the event permit will impose. There may be a limit in size, aggregation, indoor meeting.
Registration, as always, will open on New Year's Day, January 1, at 1 PM to the minute. It's always a good show to see how folks rub shoulders to get into the door as fast as they open, as apparently there are the regulars and usual suspects that "compete" for being FTR, "first to register". All good fun.
In the meantime, have fun, enjoy the rest of 2020, and if you got the rogaining fever, check out the
Indiana Crossroads rogaine happening in a week, and the
Pittsburgh mini-rogaine in mid-October.
