Event Details

Again we must cancel our planned Rogaine which we expect is no surprise to anyone.    It was to be a 6hr and 12hr Rogaine in the Tallarook State Forest – a favourite area since the first Rogaine there in 1976.  One of the Rogaining areas closest to Melbourne.

Registration Date:24/08/2021, Late Date:08/09/2021, Registrations Close:11/09/2021
