🗺️ The Fool’s Adventure 10-Hour ROGAINE
This year’s Fool’s Adventure is a true, full-course foot ROGAINE — and as always, there are a few twists, surprises, and reasons to question your sanity along the way.
More than 100 checkpoints (CPs) are scattered across 8 square miles of rugged North Jersey wilderness — terrain that’s never before been used for any foot, bike, or paddle event. You can visit the CPs in any order, but be warned: your route choices may not stay as open as you think. Choose wisely… or be a fool!

🎒 What You’ll Get
All racers receive:
Detailed maps, clues, rules, and passports
Access to one of the most creative and challenging ROGAINE courses in the region
The satisfaction of knowing you’ll spend a full day running, hiking, and navigating through wild, scenic terrain
🧭 How It Works
In true Fool’s style, there will be no traditional checkpoint flags.
Instead, each CP will be marked by an orange ribbon with its ID number printed on it.
To prove you found it, you may:
Record the CP number on your passport
Snap a photo of the tag
Dictate the number into your phone and transcribe it later
Choose your method — but accuracy counts!
👟 All registrations are as individuals. More information about teams will be released closer to the race.
🧰 Mandatory Gear
Every racer must carry:
Clothing appropriate for the day’s conditions
Personal first-aid kit and whistle
Cell phone (for emergencies)
Food and water for 10 hours
Compass — and the knowledge to use it
Navigation is entirely on foot — no GPS assistance allowed!
🏁 What to Expect
Expect challenge. Expect laughter. Expect frustration. Expect Rocks! Expect scenic views and vistas. Expect FUN!
You’ll question your compass, your route choices, and maybe even your life decisions — but you’ll finish with great stories, tired legs, and bragging rights earned the hard way.
