Anybody that has a moderate level of fitness can participate. A high level of navigation ability is not required. Teams travel at their own pace and anyone from children to grandparents can experience the personal satisfaction that comes from cross-country navigation at their own level of competition and comfort. Team members stay within earshot of each other.
The best thing about rogaining is the social aspect. Everyone starts at the same time, and generally finishes at the same time, it is just the amount of ground that has been covered by teams that differs. Rogaining can be held in city environments or in farmland and bush, and you get to visit parts of the country you never knew existed.
Kids and families are welcome to come and have a fun time.
Don’t miss it, bring your friends!

Click Here for the event website

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.

What a day! The weather was spot on, the views were stunning, and it was amazing to see so many families out enjoying the event together. There were no flat areas but that was to be expected. Otherwise it was hot but a light southerly was cooling on the ridges. Great to see so many families.
