In conjunction with 80th anniversary commemorations...

 

Our next event is taking place on Saturday 16th August 2025.

This will be a BUSH ROGAINE located at Coomalie Creek and will coincide with 80th anniversary commemorations for the last operational RAAF mission from Australian soil during WW2.  This mission was flown by No. 87 Squadron using a Mosquito aircraft.  The Mosquito returned to Coomalie when peace was declared, marking the end of operational flights from Australian bases.

All levels of rogainers are welcomed to this bush event, with training available for those learning the ropes.  More info coming soon, but please mark your calendars now as it is going to be a very special weekend including a lot of activity at the Coomalie airstrip, with some amazing old aeroplanes and acrobatics on display!  A once-in-a-lifetime event.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at Coomalie Creek in August!

Thank you for continuing to support and participate in the wonderful sport of rogaining.

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.

Happy New Year People,

To start the 2025 Rogaining Calendar we are organising an Urban Rogaine utilising the areas of Winnellie, Berrimah, Charles Darwin and Hidden valley. Hopefully, the weather will be in our side and all the tracks remain open. It is the Northern Monsoon season, who knows what will happen. But whatever does, we will be prepared to conduct an event that will test and hone your team's navigational prowess. There will be three separate course options that will suit you and your team, two on foot- 5 hr Meander and 3 hr Mini and one on bikes the 4hr Mash. MTBs are best, given that there will be controls on the southern side of the course in amongst mostly natural terrain and gravel tracks.

Date for a Mosey Monsoon Miler Urban Rogaine is Saturday 22nd February 2025

The Start and finish will be at One Mile Brewery, they will be feeding us in the evening with a delicious range of Pizza options.
