April Fool's Rogaine

Harriman State Park - Bear Mountain, NY
1 April 2007

See a map of the 2007 April Fool's Rogaine here.

Note: Location has changed to Anthony Wayne Parking Lot in Bear Mountain State Park

Teams of 2 or solos will travel by foot throughout the vast acreage of Harriman State Park searching for checkpoints. You will travel along the parks roads and on trails.

Checkpoints are scattered in the woods over a wide area. Each control will have a point value. Teams must strategize in determining which controls to go after and still make it back before the cut-off. Teams arriving late will have points deducted from their total: the highest valued control for each minute beginning at 4:01pm MY time!! The sweet thing is that you can do as much of the course as you like! The course will be friendly at all levels 'cos YOU pick the checkpoints to go after!

Event Details
A Wee Poem About The Event	"This years meet is sure to greet the young and un-initiated, For 6 long hours your sure to spend cursing your lack of acclamation. Forget your bikes you mountain types, knobblie tires won't help you here, For up and down, through thick and thin you'll be navigating. A maze of trail awaits you folks, so travel smart you see, For brains you'll need and some speed, to win this year's glory!"
