Rogaine participants will be required to run the Usynligo and Livelox apps (both free) on their phones and carry their phone with them on the course. This is because most (but not all) of the controls will be virtual. Thus there is no physical flag in the field, but instead the Usynligo app gives an audible alert when the phone enters a control radius on the map. Interested participants are strongly encouraged to download and become familiar with both apps prior to this event.

Orienteering Participants will use finger sticks, Have physical controls, and are required to use LiveLox for the Night Orienteering segment.

Tent and car camping is OK on the Gray Owl property.

Registration information and additional details will be forthcoming…
