The North West Rogaine Series takes place annually in winter, culminating in a final event at Grass Track Road, Woodhill Forest. This event is designed as a 90-minute foot rogaine, which accommodates participants across a wide spectrum of experience, from novices to seasoned rogainers.
Competitors navigate through the forest using a map and compass, visiting various checkpoints that are assigned different point values. The flexibility in choosing the order of checkpoints allows for strategic planning, with the aim of achieving the highest score.
Additionally, this event serves as the venue for the 2026 Auckland Schools Rogaine Championships, fostering local school participation and community engagement in the sport. The atmosphere is typically energetic, with a mix of competitive spirit and camaraderie among participants.
