Welcome to 2025

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).
Note: Event one is a special event – Save the Sanctuary – with all funds raised going to the Maungatautari Sanctuary. We have special permission from the Maungatautari Sanctuary Trust to use the monitoring lines on the mountain for the event. There is an 8 hour option.

MTBO score (rogaine) event across the Posrt Hills. 6hr or 3hr options available.

Organised by the Malborough Orienteering Club, this event has been on the calendar for several years and is always very popular.
It is suitable for families, novices and the more experienced adventurers out there.
See Event Entry and Info for further details

A series of rogaine events–one each in June, July, and August–that take place in various locations near Te Anau. Each event will take place in a different area. These events will be a great opportunity to practice real bush navigation. All course areas are well bounded by natural features and/or trails. Each event will feature at least 10 controls. Find as many or as few as you want in the time limit.
ALL COURSES are now available on orienteer.co–go play and revisit your favourites and see if you can better your time! Note, you’ll need to create an account to access the courses (for free!) and also download an app (also for free!). The app uses geolocation to tell you when you reach the CPs and also has an ‘easy’ mode to help you learn better navigation! You can also create your own courses and share them with your friends (like us!).
