This event, the 4th event in the 2019 Nav-X race series, will also serve as the 2019 North American Rogaining Championships for the 24-hr race (sanctioned by Orienteering USA). Race or trek in the Sierra Nevada mountains east of Fresno at elevations between 7000 and 9000 feet! The race area is primarily pine forest with low to moderate undergrowth, interspersed with some bare granite slab. Steepness is moderate by California standards, with some dramatic terrain and spectacular views mixed in. The map was made by Bill Cusworth in 2016 using USGS contour data combined with features derived by aerial photos such as roads and vegetation boundaries. The map is 1:25000 scale with 10 meter contours and uses mostly standard orienteering symbols but with a few new symbols to delineate the different types of granite areas from one another. Come experience the true wildness of Sierra Nevada mountains to challenge yourself, and the top North American navigators!

Top finishers in each division of the 24-hr qualify for the World Rogaining Championships in 2020 at Tahoe-Northstar. Scores from the 24 hour race, as well as the 4 and 8 hour races, will also count towards the 2019 Nav-X Challenge Series. 20% off if registering by August 31st.
