Concept
TrekkingThe Mini Rogue will cater for all levels of athlete, with a Novice-specific course designed to get those new to rogaining and adventure racing addicted after just one race. While there is a time limit of 4 hours, you could cover as little as (approximately) 15 kms, and complete the event in 3 hours or less!
The Mini Rogue Adventuregaine is an event where teams of two compete to collect as many checkpoints as possible within the allowed time. There are multiple stages of trekking, mountain biking and kayaking. Teams must navigate the course using a map (supplied) and compass on a route of your choice. You can attempt to collect as many or as few checkpoints as you wish.
Strategy, navigation and perseverance will play just as a significant role as raw fitness.

Format
Teams will be required to attempt multiple legs of alternating race disciplines. Each leg must be attempted in order, and once a leg is completed teams may not return to it to collect missed checkpoints later. However, within each leg, teams may collect as many checkpoints in any order that they wish. All check points are optional. Note that teams may only collect checkpoints that are from the current leg that they are on. This format of event allows for a very social atmosphere of racing with teams constantly brought together. Each stage of the Mini Rogue is separated by a transition area where an event official will be present. Any team that makes it back to Race HQ under their own power will be considered ranked with an official result.
Maps
Mountain BikingTwo copies of event specific maps will be provided to every team so that both members can co-navigate if they wish. Hence, teams may wish to consider putting a map board on both bikes. Teams are also strongly advised to bring a map case or other means of waterproofing and protecting their maps, such as contact.
Kayaks
