4. COMPETITION DISTANCES
2h rogaining, 4h rogaining and 6h rogaining are held in teams of 2–5 participants, of whom at least one must be 18 years old on the day of the competition.
2h Solo rogaining is an individual course where the participant plans their route and tries to collect as many points as possible by running within 2 hours.
3h bike rogaining is an individual course where the participant plans their route and tries to collect as many points as possible within 3 hours by bike. A fastened protective helmet must be worn on the head throughout the whole course.
The Legend Hike is an interactive adventure that transforms an ordinary walk into an exciting journey of discovery. It is designed for participants to explore the secrets of the surroundings at their own pace, free from the rush of competition. Using the Actionbound app, your smartphone becomes your personal guide—as soon as you reach a task location, legendary stories and game questions will automatically open on your phone. In nature, these locations are easily identifiable by orange and white fabric markers (prisms). The app tracks your location automatically, allowing you to focus entirely on exploring without needing any specialized prior knowledge.
Distance Formats
-
10 km Interactive Distance (2–3 h): The app features a precisely marked route line for you to follow. The path leads through sequential points filled with stories and game elements—perfect for families and a relaxing getaway.
-
20 km Adventure Distance (4–5 h): A marked route line that combines a physical challenge with rich digital content. An excellent choice for active lifestyle enthusiasts seeking a full day in nature.
-
Hike with a Map: Total freedom of choice without a fixed line in the app. Participants plan their own route and search for the orange and white markers in any order, using the app only to complete tasks once a point is found.
Just like participants in other distances, hikers will receive commemorative medals and goodies from sponsors at the finish line, as well as entry into a lottery. Bonus: Participants who answer at least 5 questions correctly in the app will be entered into a special draw for additional prizes at the start of the lottery.
Please note: While the distance can be completed at any time, to participate in the lottery and receive a medal, you must finish no earlier than the start time of the final distance and no later than 30 minutes after the final distance's time limit.
2h Children's Walk (3–5 km) for children up to 12 years of age (inclusive). Little explorers can head into a forest adventure with an instructor provided by the organizers or use the Actionbound app to search for checkpoints and complete exciting tasks on their smartphones at their own pace. If the participant is under 7 years old, the participation of one adult is mandatory to accompany and take responsibility for the child. The accompanying adult does not have to pay for participation.
