Rugged Rogaine 1 – Waimai Valley

The Rugged Rogaine Series offers participants the opportunity to navigate through the scenic Waikato countryside, engaging in an adventure sport that emphasizes map reading and navigation skills.

Set against the backdrop of Waimai Valley, Te Ākau, the event features a rogaine format where participants, either solo or in teams, aim to locate as many controls as possible within a designated timeframe. The course traverses diverse terrain, including forestry and farmland, providing a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Participants receive a detailed rogaine map to guide their exploration. The two-hour category allows for individual participation, while the four-hour event requires teams of two to five members, accommodating various categories such as men, women, mixed, and junior groups.

This series not only promotes fitness but also fosters community involvement, as teams work together to strategize their route and enhance their navigation skills.
