STRATAGEM URBAN ROGAINE - AND AGM 2025
ENTRIES ARE OPEN!
Join us at East Point Reserve on the afternoon of Saturday 17th May 2025 for a fun 3-hour Mini Urban Rogaine. This is a foot event. All controls are in MapRun , they are all accessible without having to fight the vegetation, the vast majority are on or near tracks or paths. It’s an ideal event to run it and see what best time a team can achieve by cleaning up or take it at a leisurely pace and enjoy the newly arrived dry season weather around one of Darwin’s best naturally appealing areas. The wildlife around East Point is fantastic, particularly if you are a keen twitcher. It’s very family friendly and you can either push the pram or get the younger ones to ride a bike whilst the adults are walking or running. After the event we will be conducting our annual AGM. Some of you have been around for a while now and understand what the Association does, so have a think about what you could give or learn and get involved.
StratAGeM - you will need a sound plan, a good route choice, to navigate through the Urban Maze to locate your target, to get to the podium.
Entry form is below. Entries close at 11:00pm on Wednesday 14th May 2025.

What is Rogaining?
Rogaining is the sport of long distance cross country navigation. Teamwork, endurance, strategy and map reading are features of the sport. Rogaining is a team activity for people of all ages and levels of fitness, which aims to support and encourage people to develop respect for and enjoyment of rural and bushland environments, and to encourage the development of navigational skills, self reliance, general fitness, and the ability to work in a team.
About the NTRA
Rogaining found its way to the NT in 1999 (about a quarter of a century after the sport's invention in Victoria), courtesy of the energetic Andy Black and David Palmer who organised the first NT rogaine, the Croc and Rock, at Litchfield National Park in August of that year.
With their rogaining experience from southern states, Andy and David spent much of early 1999 battling Wet season humidity, flooded creeks, thick high grass and the almost totally unroaded bush of Litchfield National Park to set the course for what turned out to be an historic (and for many competitors very tough) 24 hour event.
