6hr or 3hr MTBO rogaine on the MTB tracks of the Port Hills.
Courses:
This event will have a rogaine format with a time limit of 6 hours or 3 hours.
The course is very hilly and will use a mixture of singletrack and gravel roads linked together by public roads. Participants should be experienced with Mountain Biking in hilly terrain. However, for those who don't want to do too many hills, there will be enough controls on the flat to give you a decent ride.
NOTE: This event will use public roads, participants must take great care and obey all road rules at all times. The event also uses many shared tracks and pathways, riders must be courteous and be prepared to give way to walkers and other riders.
Maprun:
This event will use the MapRun timing system, where a smartphone app is used to record the visit to each control. https://maprunners.weebly.com
Participants need to download the app to their smart phone and register as a user before the event https://maprunners.weebly.com/quick-guide.html. There is also options to run the app on a Garmin watch or Apple watch.
There will be no physical controls or flags placed on the course. (Instead, the MapRun app chimes when you visit a control site).
