European Rogaining Championships

The European Rogaining Championships is an annual top level event to establish the European champions in rogaining. The championships are organised by a national rogaining association chosen by the European members of the International Rogaining Federation (IRF).

European championship rogaines are always of 24 hours duration, and are conducted in accordance with the rogaining rules of the IRF. The team with the highest score in each of the three gender classes (Men's, Women's and Mixed teams) are declared the European Rogaining Champions. Within each gender class, all teams participate in the Open age category. Additionally, there are age sub-categories as follows: Youth (up to 23), Veteran (45 and over), Super Veteran (55 and over) and Ultra Veteran (65 and over).
