New Mexico Orienteers
Doc Long Mini-Rogain this Saturday the 28th of October
Join us at the spectacular Doc Long Picnic Area on the way to Sandia Crest for
our annual Mini-Rogaine. In a Rogaine competitors start out at the same time
and choose their own routes to the control flags. The goal of a Rogaine is to
find as many control flags as one can in a specified amount of time. It's
really a race against the clock. There are two divisions this year, 2hr and 4hr
time limits. The 2 hour division will start at Noon while the 4 hour will start
earlier at 10 a.m. Each control flag you find is worth a given number of
points, from 1 to 5 depending on the difficulty of the flag to find. If you get
back
later then your divisions time limit, penalty points are assessed on your total
control flag score. The persons with the highest scores win in each division.
If you haven't come out to an orienteering event this year or if you've never
been to the Doc Long Area, this is a must do event! Come join us for a great
day of incredible fall orienteering.
Location:
East side of Sandia mountains, east of Albuquerque in Cienega Canyon.
