Note: Pre-registration and pre-donation is required for the Rim Country Navigation Games near Blue Ridge Reservoir We're excited to open up a new event site in Arizona for your navigation enjoyment. On Saturday, July 26, we'll take you to an area surrounding the Blue Ridge Reservoir, a rugged and beautiful area approximately 1 hour north of Payson, AZ (also 1 hour southeast of Flagstaff and 1 hour east of Camp Verde). During the day, we're offering five events:
The 12-hour Rogaine is a special category of the adventure race. Participants in the 12-hour Rogaine use the same maps as the adventure racers. The main difference is that participants in the 12-hour Rogaine only travel on foot. Several of the watercraft destinations are not accessible on foot. In addition, several of the bike controls are placed at distances more easily reached by bike. Participants in the Rogaine visit as many of the destinations as they can in the 12-hour limit. In the 3-hour and 6-hour Rogaine, participants have up to 3/6 hours to visit as many of the controls as they can on one or more maps.

There are many locations for dispersed camping west of the Rock Crossing Campground. Due to the popularity of the location, there are no camp sites remaining in the campground itself. For dispersed camping options, refer to the map here for dispersed camping sites. The start/finish is located in a dispersed camping site somewhere near the intersection of FS751 and FS751B, just west of the Rock Crossing Campground. Partipants may choose to find a hotel in Payson, Camp Verde, or Flagstaff and drive ~1 hour to the event site the morning of the event. The nearest gas station and convenience store is at Clint's Well, ~9 miles away from the event site. Otherwise, larger facilities are located up to 50 or more miles away in Payson, Camp Verde, Flagstaff, or Winslow. |
