9/23(Sat)｜Rogaining (Team Competition)

Rogaining is a team sport in which teams compete against each other to score points by visiting as many checkpoints as possible within a time limit, armed with a map and compass. It also requires map reading skills, so running ability alone is not enough to win the competition.
