The first Rogaine of 2025 is at Kurnell and the adjacent Kamay Botany Bay National Park. This is the first Rogaine held in this location – the map does not overlap with previous Rogaines in Cronulla in 2017 and Caringbah in 1996.
Kurnell is one of Sydney’s most unique and isolated suburbs with only one road in. It is bordered by a beach to the north, Kamay NP to the east, wetlands to the west and an oil terminal to the south. There’s also the site of Captain Cooks’ first landing, a village of isolated beach shacks, and very low flying aircraft. It’s flat and easy to navigate and will have Rogainers off to a flying start – but make sure you don’t set off on a kamikaze mission!
Kamay NP is right next door and features heavily in the course. There is rainforest, coastal scrub, open rock faces, a lighthouse and sandstone cliffs dropping into the ocean. Look out for wallabies, birds, snakes and maybe some dolphins. There’s also a network of tracks which will let smart Rogainers compete with the young flyers. The course setter might also have found some sand dunes and stairs 😉
This is a 3 hour event for teams and solo Rogainers. Registration commences at 7:30am. The event starts at 9am and finishes at 12 noon. Prize giving is around 12.30pm. Snacks and drinks are provided at the end of the event and are included in the entry fee.
Our numbers are capped at 400, so don’t wait to enter. Don’t forget your cossies and a towel.Â
