Rogaine is a hair-regrowth drug. It’s also a long-distance navigation game that makes participants feel like English adventurer “Bear” Grylls. The latter rogaining was born in the 1970s, when Australians thought facing harsh terrain, racing against time, and traveling for 24 hours straight with minimal supplies would be awesome. The Mission Street Scramble — one of numerous rogaining events held throughout the city and the Bay Area — allows us to show off our inner Bear with a more urban take on the classic adventure game. Though participants don’t navigate wild terrain, they may run up California Street — and really, is that any less challenging? Each participant is given a time period to visit various neighborhood checkpoints on a map. The goal is to check off as many locations within the given time and make it back to the base as quickly as possible. Start off easy with 90 minutes — or take on three hours. Either way, there’s a party afterward with snacks, drinks, and awards.
