The 14th Setanta Rogaine will take place on the weekend of June 25/26th, 2011 starting at noon on Saturday 25th. Both 6hr and 24 hr events will start at this time, with the 6-hr event finishing at 6pm on the 25th, and the 24-hr event finishing at noon on the 26th.

New to this year we are allowing individual entries to the 6 hour event. So you can enter one of the 3 following categories:

6 Hour Individual
6 Hour Team
24 Hour Team

A rogaine is basically a mountain navigation race where you locate as many controls in the mountains as you can in the allocated time period (6 or 24 hours). When doing the 24 hour event you can come back to the hash house for some food and a few hours sleep in your tent. The hardier competitors will stay out all night and will bivvy for a bit under a bush although some keep going all night.

Whichever event you choose, it will be a challenge, a test of navigational skills and hopefully a good day out in the hills!

For a taste of what can be expected you will find some reports by following links to previous events from the archive pages. Here are 3 reports from the Setanta Rogaine Ireland 2010:
