P-Max is a score orienteering event for teams of two or more. In other words P-Max is a short rogaine. There's really no difference. You choose your own route to visit checkpoints to maximise your score in a given time. Get back late, and you lose points. Run or walk, its a great way to get fit, and to explore your region!

ORIENTEERING: "involves finding your way through unfamiliar terrain using a map." Competitions are usually individual, but groups are welcome too. Checkpoints may have to be visited in a certain order, or a time limit is set. Courses can take anything from 10 minutes up, with an hour quite common.

ROGAINING: "a sport of long distance cross-country navigation", in which teams of two to five people visit as many checkpoints as they wish in a set time period. "Long" is anything up to 24hrs, but the skills can be practised over any period, such as one hour.
