Congratulations to all who participated i n the virtual Jerrabomberra and Queanbeyan rogaine! Virtual rogaines are pr oving to be very popular, and we were delighted to hear about all the peopl e who tried rogaining for the first time! It was also great to see so many people doing the event multiple times – the rogaine covered a huge area had plenty to offer in the far corners of Jerra and Queanbeyan.
Well don e to all the category winners and placegetters! Special mentions go to Ryan Stocks who won the overall event with 350 points more than the closest com petitor, Danielle Donegan for winning the women’s event, and Greg Hosking a nd Kate Thomas for winning the mixed category.

d week of the school holidays from 6 am Saturday 11 July to 6 pm Sunday 2 A
ugust 2020. You can participate any time when the course is open. Your team
can take up to 4 hours to do the course. Rogaining scorin
g applies - controls score points according to 10s (e.g. 54 scores 50 point
s) but with 30 points per minute late after 4 hours as penalty.
Eithe r download and print a map (available here as 2 x A4 maps) and control descriptions (available here) or you can p ick a free teslin one from Paddy Pallin in Lonsdale Street, Braddon from Th ursday 9th July onwards. Please use hand sanitiser before touching the maps .
Please read the course setter's notes (available here). These are printed on the back o f the teslin maps, or you can print a copy yourself.
At least one per son in each team will need to download the MapRunF App (make sure you get t he "F" version). Either seach on your app store or go to the website that will direct you to the right App . Please download and read these instructions on using MapRunF to learn how to use the App. The App uses the GPS on your phone to work out you are at the control location. To score a control you will need to be within 10 m of the feature. Check y our detailed control descriptions as there will be no flags.
Make sur e you charge your phone before your run. You may want to turn on MapRunF’s GPS Battery Save Mode.
The start/hash house is at the Big Blue “The S car” sign at the entrance to the car park on Southbar Rd, Queanbeyan. Searc h for “The Scar” on Google Maps. The car park is a public car carpark for a dog park, a BMX track and bushwalking on Mt Jerrabomberra, so there will b e non-rogainers parked there. If the car park is full, you can try Sassafra s Cres on the other side of Southbar Rd or the carpark at Bicentennial Park (control 82), which is on Crest Park Parade, about 1km walk from the start .
Do not activate the App until you are in the car park. Otherwise yo u may accidentally start your rogaine early when you drive in past the blue sign.
A reminder that you participate in this event at your own risk and are responsible for your own safety. The course is designed to maximis e use of footpaths and underpasses but you may need to cross some busy road s. Please take care. You should also observe appropriate social distancing if you encounter other teams or people.
There are no water drops on t he course, so carry what you need. There are shops in the suburbs (e.g. nor th of 58 in Jerrabomberra, between 62 and 45 in Queanbeyan and at the Quean beyan CBD between 50, 73, 76 and 55), but in support of physical distancing rules we’re not encouraging you to visit them unless you need to.
Entry is free but if you e nter we can upload and create results in the traditional format after the f inish. Results will be available as teams upload them from the MapRunF App after they finish.
