The Rugged Rogaine Series is a fun way to explore the beautiful Waikato countryside, experience an adventure sport, practice map reading and navigation, and improve your fitness.
▪ Run, jog, or walk – you set the pace
▪ By yourself, in a team, or as a family
▪ Fun adventure or a competitive challenge and race
What: 2 & 4 hour rogaine through forestry and over farmland where teams/individuals have to find as many controls as they can in that time. The control points will vary so it is important to spend a bit of time planning a route. If you’re late back, points will be deducted for every minute you’re over the cut-off time. The two hour race can be done solo but the 4 hour race must be done as a team (2-5 people, Men/Women/Mixed/Junior). The event is pre-entry only. Enter here: TBC

There were 112 Adults and 127 Juniors spread across 69 teams. There were several junior teams as well which was fantastic. Majority of the entries had never done a rogaine before and came back absolutely excited about their experience. A warm and sunny day certainly helped.
The money raised is being used to fund a river feature at the Springlands Kindergarten. See image.

There were disappointingly low numbers for the 12hr event but large numbers for the 6hr & 3hr events. What a wonderful course over such interesting terrain. Mostly the climbs were not long or steep unless you ventured to the far corner of the course. The drizzle continued for most of the day at varying intensity but is was not cold and the ground just soaked things up so it was not slippery. A great venue and event.
