EAST POINT RESERVE (near the gun turrets)

FB Flyer

 

ENTRIES ARE OPEN!

Join us at East Point Reserve on the afternoon of Saturday 17th May 2025 for a fun 3-hour Mini Urban Rogaine.  This is a foot event.  All controls are in MapRun , they are all accessible without having to fight the vegetation, the vast majority are on or near tracks or paths. It’s an ideal event to run it and see what best time a team can achieve by cleaning up or take it at a leisurely pace and enjoy the newly arrived dry season weather around one of Darwin’s best naturally appealing areas. The wildlife around East Point is fantastic, particularly if you are a keen twitcher. It’s very family friendly and you can either push the pram or get the younger ones to ride a bike whilst the adults are walking or running. After the event we will be conducting our annual AGM. Some of you have been around for a while now and understand what the Association does, so have a think about what you could give or learn and get involved.

StratAGeM - you will need a sound plan, a good route choice, to navigate through the Urban Maze to locate your target, to get to the podium.

Entry form is below.  Entries close at 11:00pm on Wednesday 14th May 2025.

Happy New Year People,

To start the 2025 Rogaining Calendar we are organising an Urban Rogaine utilising the areas of Winnellie, Berrimah, Charles Darwin and Hidden valley. Hopefully, the weather will be in our side and all the tracks remain open. It is the Northern Monsoon season, who knows what will happen. But whatever does, we will be prepared to conduct an event that will test and hone your team's navigational prowess. There will be three separate course options that will suit you and your team, two on foot- 5 hr Meander and 3 hr Mini and one on bikes the 4hr Mash. MTBs are best, given that there will be controls on the southern side of the course in amongst mostly natural terrain and gravel tracks.

Date for a Mosey Monsoon Miler Urban Rogaine is Saturday 22nd February 2025

The Start and finish will be at One Mile Brewery, they will be feeding us in the evening with a delicious range of Pizza options.

LITCHFIELD NATIONAL PARK

 RESCHEDULED!  NOW ON SATURDAY 30th NOVEMBER, 2024 

 

Se7en Again

 

After initially having to be postponed due to extreme fire danger and weather conditions, the Litchfield Bush Rogaine is BACK, with a few tweaks!  The Se7en Defi9ing Reasons Bush Rogaine is taking place in Litchfield National Park on Saturday 30th November, 2024.

There are Se7en good reasons to enter - see the flyer above!

The Hash House is located at the Litchfield Education Facility (located on the Florence Falls / Buley Rockhole road).  There are showers and toilets, a large undercover common area, green grass for camping and a water hole safe for swimming.

Given that the rogaine is taking place in November, it will probably be a tropical sultry Saturday, so we are proposing to extend the time allowed on the course by a couple of hours - it was 7 hours - now it is 9 hours.  NOTE - the original course itself has not changed - we are not increasing distance - but we ARE giving you more time.

Why?

Extra time provides you with the opportunity to swim in many of the cool places that Litchfield has to offer while still having a good crack at getting around to as many of the controls as possible without becoming too heat stressed.

Caveats around how Teams (of 2 to 5 people) can use the allocated time:

Teams can start the rogaine ANY TIME on Saturday 30th Nov.

Teams must not spend any more than 9 hours out on the course.

Teams must finish no later than 7:00pm on Saturday 30th Nov.

As a suggestion, you may wish to stagger your rogaine by doing say a 5 + 4 hour, or a 6 + 3 hour - breaking up the time spent out on the course by returning to the Hash House in-between, resting up, swimming, having lunch and then going out again.  Or perhaps you prefer to do a 9 hour peripatetic peregrination and complete the rogaine in one hit.  Having up to 9 hours out on the course provides ample rest time if conditions are hot and humid.  Fingers crossed it will be a bit overcast, or maybe there will be a little bit of rain?!

If you prefer to revert to a shorter wander, we are still conducting a 4 hour event from 2:00pm onwards.  All teams in the 4 hour event must be finished no later than 7:00pm.

Maps for the longer 9 hour event will be available from Friday evening onwards for those who wish to come down ahead of time and camp on Friday night, or any time on Saturday.  For the shorter 4 hour event, maps will be available 2 hours prior to the event start time on Saturday.

Camping is available on both Friday and Saturday evenings.

This is our last event for the year, as the Se7en Rogaine is now being held on what would have been the date of our annual Christmas Mystery Teams Event.  We might have stolen the date, but we haven't stolen Christmas!  On Saturday evening after the Se7en rogaine has concluded, we will conduct our annual Christmas Swap and Steal.  There will also be a fun, educational short quiz to keep you on your toes!

Event Fee includes Saturday Evening Meal and Sunday Morning Breakfast.

Please note that this event is still limited to a maximum of 42 persons in the Litchfield Education Facility campground.  You need to get in quick to secure your spot!

See the Entry Form below.  SAVE SOME BUCKS - EARLY BIRD entries close at 11pm on Sunday 24th November.
