24hr Australasian Rogaining Champs & 6 hour bush Rogaines (8th & 9th October 2022)

Well, what a weekend! With the amount of rain in and around Avoca over the last few weeks, there was a real risk that this event might need to be cancelled. Fortunately mother nature smiled upon us with two very pleasant days for this year’s Australasian Rogaining Championships near Avoca Victoria. It was awesome to have so many local, interstate and international guests come to sample some challenging and steep Rogaining checkpoints set by Merv and Vic in the beautiful but tough Pyrenees State Forest.

A massive thanks go out to Merv and Vic for setting an exemplary championship course and I can’t wait to hear the stories of how competitors chose to tackle such a difficult course. Also, we couldn’t have made this happen without the stewardship of the ever-amazing Greg Robinson who kept the troops calm when things went wrong. As with all these events, they are a team effort and require careful planning and precision execution on the day. To Karen, Steven G, Sarah, Duncan, Stephen H, Martina, Ian, Grant, Simin, David, Sue, Norm, Kelly, Bev, Tina, Hannah, Neil, Robbie, Annie, Michael, Di B, Di Y, Richard, Donelda (our Tassie superstar), Monica, Paula, Steve, Arthur, Peter, Ainslie, Don, John and all those that put their hand up to help on the day, we couldn’t have done it without you. You are the soul of Rogaining and the reason we can run these events.

Congratulations to David Baldwin and Julie Quinn who are our new Australasian Champions with a decisive 3200 points. For full results, please explore the links provided which show both the 24-hour and 6hour events and allow you to explore the routes chosen by all of our competitors in both events.
