Getting started in the sport - your first Rogaine

• Beginners and children are welcome on all events.
• Contact your regional rogaining group. Find what events are on.
• Choose your team - friends or relatives who are happy to go at your pace.
• A little training to get fit helps but isn't necessary.
• Learn a little about navigating with a map and compass.
A good source of information is the book, Rogaining: Cross-Country Navigation.
• Comfortable walking or jogging shoes are important.
• Clothing should be comfortable and flexible, able to cope with cool and hot weather.
• Get a rogaining or orienteering compass. The event organizers will give you a list of other equipment.
• Have fun. No-one cares how fast or slow you travel as long as you enjoy yourselves.
