2022 MiGO / OGA Great Race

July 25, 2021 through June 30, 2022

Hosted jointly by the Michigan Geocaching Organization and the Ohio Geocaching Association.  There will be three winners based upon goals below, plus additional winners determined by a random drawing based upon points scored and will be announced at Midwest Geobash 2022; prizes awarded at the Discretion of MiGO and OGA.  Race Website: race.ohgeo.org

This is a two-tiered contest with a minimum of 3 winners based upon distance and visits, and additional winners based upon points earned. 1 point = 1 entry into a random drawing using assigned numbers and a random number generator.

The main goals:

1. Greatest Distance Traveled (per geocaching.com)
2. Most USA States & Territories and Canadian Provinces Visited*
3. Most Countries Visited*

Miles / Locations will be adjusted for racer miles that have been clearly fabricated, manipulated, or are of a suspicious nature. Only miles between “drop off” logs will be counted; visits by one cacher from cache to cache do not count.  *In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by First to Earn.

Minimum 1 prize for each goal above. Decisions of the Race Officials are final.

Earn Points:

4. Be “in the hands” of at least 20 different (unique) Geocachers. Discovers don’t count. Grabbed and retrieved from physical caches do count. (1 point)

8. Participation – Take a photo of your racer, upload it to the trackable page and place it into a starting cache. Race participant may add any charm or token to it to help identify it. Racer should be given a name and the page description should let cachers who pick up the bug know that it is in the race. (1 point)

Minimum one random winner, additional based upon participation.

We will also track and announce which organization traveled more miles based upon actual membership.  If you are a member of both organizations your miles will count toward the state you reside in.  You do not need to be a member of either organization to play, only to have your miles added to the organization score. Living in MI or OH does not constitute membership.
