Saturday 8hr Day Night + Sunday 6hr Day Rogaine (14 & 15 June 2025)
8hr Day Night Rogaine - Saturday 14 June 2025
Duration:8 hours
Based on feedback during 2024 we’ve heard suggestion we should run an 8hr rogaine. Also our night rogainers would always like more night rogaining. Maybe this format will please both and offer an opportunity to all to do a shortish (8hr) rogaine with 2 to 3 hrs of night navigation.
Saturday we’ll do an 8hr Rogaine starting around midday and finishing after sunset. Exact timing to be decided. On Sunday we’ll use the same map and run a standard 6hr rogaine starting at 10am. No night navigation for those who prefer our popular 6hr.
6hr Daylight Rogaine - Sunday 15 June 2025
Duration:6 hours
Event Details
A Saturday 8hr Day & Night Rogaine + a Sunday 6hr Daylight Rogaine. Like a 2x6hr weekend except start later on Saturday creating a night finish for teams staying out for the full 8hrs and do it again on Sunday starting at 10am creating a 6hr rogaine with all daylight navigation.
An opportunity to step up to a couple of extra hours and try out some night navigation. OR enter on Sunday our popular 6hr all daylight rogaine. We may also be able to offer some training for Sunday but nothing has been decided about that yet.
