Entries are open for the 2023 World Rogaining Championships to be held at Northstar Resort near Lake Tahoe in California, USA. The event is part of the Cal-O-Fest orienteering carnival.
The competition area is about 200 km2 in size located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range north of Lake Tahoe, in California. The average altitude in the area is around 2300m, the highest point is 2700m, and the lowest point is about 1900m. Slopes are mostly hilly with some steep areas and deep ravines. Snow covers the area for 7-8 months of the year which contributes to the forest being very open and runnable with just small patches of thick vegetation. The forest ranges from open grassy areas to mainly pine forest and some rocky outcrops. Streams in the area will be mostly low during the summer.

The IRF Council has voted unanimously on the following motion.
MOTION PASSED 4 April 2022
- The IRF Executive and Council strongly oppose the actions of the Russian Government to invade the sovereign Nation of Ukraine. We wish for a rapid withdrawal of Russian troops and for the return of peace to Ukraine and Europe.
- The IRF will not sanction any event to be held in Russia or Belarus until the end of June, 2023.
- At any event sanctioned by the IRF until the end of June, 2023, no person can compete under any variant of the country name Russia or Belarus. No flags or other national symbols of these countries can be used, including by competitors. Because individual rogainers are not selected by any country and do not represent countries, any individual can compete in IRF sanctioned events provided they follow these restrictions and compete under another label such as ‘other’ or ‘international'.

The 2019 World Rogaining Championships were held on 27-28 July 2019 in La Molina. The competition area was a beautiful area of the Pyrenees, featuring a mix of forest and high mountains. The course contained many hills and ranged from Alp village at 1300m to the highest peak, La Tossa, at 2536m. The weather also challenged participants with the start in a thunderstorm which fortunately cleared later in the event with sunshine for the finish. The organisers IbeRogaine put on a super event with a very high quality course, excellent map and fantastic start/finish area. Congratulations to overall World Rogaining Champions Rain Seepõld and Timmo Tammemäe from Estonia. All results, including the other World Rogaining Champions in their categories are on the website.
