Rogaine?
Rogaine is the sport of long distance cross country navigation in which teams visit as many checkpoints as possible within a given time limit. In this case 3 hours.
Teams travel entirely on foot, navigating by map and compass. Checkpoints may be visited in any order, with checkpoints being allocated differing points. The highest score wins. Teams may return to the event centre as many times as they like and do not have to stay out for the entire time allowed. Penalty points are deducted from a teams overall score for a late return.
