What is it? |
MAKADO is a mountain-bike orienteering competition in pairs. Competitors use a special, high-detail orienteering map to navigate around controls (checkpoints). Each control is assigned a certain score, which can be earned by visiting the particular control. The aim is to collect as much score as possible within a given time frame. Teams adjust their route based on their orientation skills, endurance, logical thinking and actual score assigned to individual controls. A rogaining race is taking place in parallel with the bike event. It is a foot-orienteering competition for teams of size 2-6, following the same rules as above. More info about rogaining on Wikipedia. |

The SI box must flash and/or beep. If it does not, use manual punctures attached to the control and punch into your map.

Team Riding Rule All team members must ride (run) within hearing reach, i.e. maximum distance when all team members can hear one another when talking.
