Rogaine Details...

The day of the Christmas Rogaine is approaching rapidly, and looks set to be a great course. We will be based in the Heathcote Domain and there will be a post race BBQ and nibbles there for everyone after they finish tearing around the hills finding checkpoints for 3 hours.

The exciting twist for the rogaine can now be revealed (so far we have been highly secretive about this!). Not only will you be able to run on foot up and down the hills, you will also be able to transport yourself by Gondola!!! There will be bonus points to collect each time you are riding the Gondola... but these will decrease the more times you hop on and off. How many times should you use it? Should you just go up on it? Then up again?
The choice and strategy is all yours!

The price for the rogaine this year (and this includes the Gondola use and post race bbq) is:

Adults: $30 per person
Students: $25 per person
Children: $10 (children is anyone under 14)

You can enter on the night, or if you want to enter beforehand simply email christmas.rogaine@gmail.com with your team member names and then transfer your payment to:

Include your name in the reference field along with XTR (by the way, that stands for Christmas Twilight Rogaine (-:)

Too much fun!

Please enjoy the sampling of activities you may be undertaking in this year's Twilight Rogaine... 

Technical nav amongst native greenery

Strategy involving a small box which will transport you majestically up and down yonder steep hill

High ball rogaining for those who need the extra thrill!

And last... but not least!... beautiful picnic spots for those keen on the mellower outing

As stated above - this really is an event to suit ALL types (-:

Ho Ho Ho! The Annual Twilight Christmas Rogaine is on again!

We will be holding the event on Wednesday 16th December, from 6 - 9pm.

The start and finish will be in the Heathcote Valley Domain, 40 Bridle Path Road, Heathcote Valley. 

There may be an exciting twist (we are just sorting that...which is proving a little tricky while Chris is off racing in Brazil!) and of course all the usual fun festivities of the Christmas Rogaine.... cryptic clues that are not very cryptic and involve reindeer lots of poo, exciting control placements which will have you visiting places you have never been and of course some yummy Christmasy fare to enjoy at the finish line.

The event welcomes all rogaining abilities from beginner to the highly advanced rogainer (of which there are a growing number in Chch thanks to all the rogaines that have been organised lately) and we will ensure there are plenty of controls to be located for everyone. You can rogaine for the whole 3 hours, or finish earlier if you wish.

You can pre-enter with a bank transfer and email.... I will advise details about this asap once the final price details have been confirmed, so stay tuned. Any questions, please email: emily.wall@gmail.com.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Course Notes

Hi Everyone,

We have now set out most of the controls and it is shaping up to be a fantastic course, with lots of very cool control sites. Definitely some fun areas to explore! The terrain is a mixture of semi open tops and large areas of native bush.

A good number of the controls in the bush are reasonably near tracks, so there are plenty of options if you are not so confident delving deep into the forest. However, we do have a few trickier controls for the more ambitious teams :)

Afterwards we will be providing some Christmas drinks and nibbles so don't forget to bring a plate, cup and spoon.
