Some of the tracks in the area are still closed due to rock fall danger post earthquake. These are shown as out of bounds areas on the map and have closed signs at the start of the tracks. 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 the Summit Road. It is open to traffic and can get people driving 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.
