ACTRA has a number of virtual rogaine courses around the ACT. These are available at any time for you to have some fun.
All you need is a map and a smart phone. A friend is also good!
Virtual rogaines use the MapRun6 App that can be downloaded to your smart phone.
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 MapRun6 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 your detailed control descriptions as there will be no flags.
The MapRun6 App will show the map on your phone screen but if you prefer to be able to see the whole map, download and print your own copy.
