Rogaine 2010 events

Not sure if this is the right spot to place this.

I've just been emailed the event list for 2010. last year i entered a few and found them great fun. very friendly people, a chance for a little competition, exercise and to sharpen map reading skills.

i thought i should give it a plug here on because there should be some like minded people.

What is Rogaining?
Rogaining is the sport of long distance cross-country navigation, in which teams of two to five people visit as many checkpoints as they wish in a set time period. The classic rogaine is 24 hours in duration, however, there are also shorter events of 6, 8 and 12 hours.
Most rogaines are held on foot in picturesque bush and farmland locations, however, some events are held in metropolitan areas ("Metrogaines") or on bikes ("Cyclegaines").
The start/finish area - or "Hash House" provides food and drink for all competitors for the duration of the event. Teams may return to the Hash House as often and for as long as they wish for food, rest, sleep or socialising.
While longer Rogaines provide the opportunity for night navigation, it is by no means compulsory. In a 24 hour event, many teams decide to spend the night at the Hash House and head out again the next morning to visit some more checkpoints.
Rogaining is a real adventure sport and is a lot of fun.
