Competitors must take compulsory gear – Headlamp/torch, jacket and whistle.

Competitors shall not discard litter or unduly damage or disturb native flora or fauna.

No Dogs, Fires or Smoking.

Safety:

Some areas may be closed due to rock fall or other dangers. These will be shown as out of bounds areas on the map. Please make sure you obey these closures, both for your own safety and ongoing access to these areas for Rogaining.

Please be extremely careful crossing all roads. The Summit Road is open to traffic and a number of people drive very fast along here. You must obey the NZ road rules at all times and not run along the road. If you need to follow along beside the road, please stay well off the seal in the grassy verge.

Our safety ph number during the event is 0221599820. Cell phone coverage is limited in places, so try calling from a ridge / hill top if you have issues.
