The New Zealand Rogaine Championships will be held on the weekend of Nov 21st-22nd 2026 based from St Arnaud, Nelson Lakes.

The 24hr Championship event will run midday Saturday to midday Sunday, with a ’15 in 24hr’ event also available for those that like their rogaining with a little more sleep. 6hr and 3hr events will run on the Saturday welcoming families, newcomers, and seasoned navigators after a shorter day out.

The event will offer a superb mix of terrain, from beautiful native bush to open tops travel for the more adventurous teams, all with picturesque lake and mountain views. St Arnaud is a great location for your support crew to hang out for the weekend, with lots of walks, mountain biking, and several accommodation/food options.

This will be an opportunity to qualify for the World Rogaining Champs in Australia in 2027.

The Classic, originally the Winter Classic is an endurance event that is both physically and mentally demanding. The event generally takes the form of a one-person relay with a pivot control and a series of loops, i.e. you do all the legs yourself!
In the M40 class it incorporates the Wayne Cretney Memorial in memory of Wayne Cretney, a Wairarapa member tragically killed in a work accident in 1987.
The event also includes a 3 hour Rogaine Team Explorer.

The Big Trig is a “rogaine” with a long history in the Wellington/Hutt Valley area.
It is guaranteed to have something for everyone. There are 6 hour and 3 hour options. For each one the course planner has set out up to 50 controls including close ones that will suit family groups — so there’s something for everyone.
You have 6 or 3 hours to maximise your score by visiting control points. Visits are confirmed by successfully answering a simple question. This is usually about a man-made feature or an orange ribbon with a code-word on it. Our traditional post-race meal including pizza by the box follows the end of the rogaines.
