IRF President, Neil Phillips, said this is the second time the US has hosted the World Rogaining Championships, following the 6th World Rogaining Championships held 2004 in Arizona. Rogaining in the US started in 1989 when Bob Reddick organized a 24-hour Rogaine east of Seattle and now more than half the states have since held Rogaines.
