Christmas Rogaining Porvoo
Experience the unique Porvoo atmosphere and the joy of discovery in postcard-like landscapes.
Suitable for beginners, yet challenging enough for seasoned adventurers.
Rogaining is a score-orienteering event where the goal of the team is to collect as many points as possible by finding checkpoints with different point values within a set time.
Gather a team of 1–6 people and set off on an adventure in Christmas Porvoo. The courses can also be completed solo if you don’t have a partner.
-
2-hour, 4-hour and 6-hour foot classes, as well as a 4-hour MTB class (including an e-bike option).
-
Dog class too! The dogs collecting the most points will be rewarded.
-
The event will also feature various “bonus sectors,” where it’s possible to win product prizes. The earlier participants sign up, the more bonus sectors we have time to add 😉.

Christmas Rogaining is the fourth event of the Tour de Rogan.
Key highlights
In rogaining, the aim is to collect as many points as possible within the competition time by visiting checkpoints of varying value. Before the start, teams have two hours to plan their route. The event map covers about 60 km² and includes 60–70 checkpoints. Some checkpoints feature a bonus sector – the first team to find it wins a prize.
Rogaining is suitable not only for orienteers but also for casual exercisers, hikers, outdoor enthusiasts and those interested in local sights – in other words, for everyone who enjoys being outdoors! The goal is to showcase Porvoo’s finest gems to participants.
The competition center is located in the middle of the event area, within walking distance of the city center. During the race it’s allowed to stop by the competition center’s plentiful snack table. You may also stop at a kiosk, shop or restaurant along the way if you get hungry. Please note that the long-distance courses continue into the evening darkness.
Mass start at 12:00.

The location of the competition center will remain secret for a little while longer, but it’s within walking distance of Porvoo bus station – meaning it’s easy to reach by public transport. Parking is available right next to the venue (about 15–327 meters away). The competition center includes changing rooms, indoor spaces for route planning, toilets, sauna and café.
