Dakota Rogaine Champioships

Here’s one for everybody that didn’t get enough of the Black Hills during Primal Quest last year. The Dakota Rogaine Championships will be held May 8-9 in Custer State Park. There will be a 24 hour championship along with a 12 hour intermediate and 4 hour beginner events. USOF sanctions are applied for. The events will be staggered so they all will finish Sunday at noon.

The course is designed by Rick Emerson,course designer for Primal Quest Badlands.

The host club is the Black Hills Orienteering Club http://www.blackhillsorienteeringclub.com/

At 71,000 acres Custer State Park it is one of the largest state parks in the United States. With terrain varying from prairie to pinnacles and from canyons to mountains, orienteers will be hard-pressed to find a more fitting challenge with such diversity.This was an area of “interesting” navigation during Primal Quest last year.
Teams can consist of 2-5 members. Men,Women and mixed teams. Age groups are Junior,Open,Vet, and Super vet.

We hope to see you in May.

    For those Primal Quest teams that were bummed when the backcountry navigation in Custer State Park was shortened due to inclement weather in the Black Hills, this is your opportunity to test your orienteering mettle and see some really awesome scenery. FYI, May was warmer than August last year. I said you would be welcomed back! I hope you can make it…
