Event Overview
Testing
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Event duration
24-hour and 8-hour courses.
This is also the Intervarsity Champs
Note: There’s no 15-hour option, but entering the 24-hour doesn’t require staying out the full time. You can come back to the Hash House at any point, rest, eat, and still qualify for the championships regardless of your total time on the course.
Entering the 24-hour event doesn’t mean you have to stay out the whole time! You can return to the HH at any time for food (available from Saturday night), campfire, and sleep. This event choice means there is no limit to how long you are out on the course – just make it up as you go but ensure you are back by midday on Sunday! You can even sign up for the 24-hour event and only spend 8 hours out on the course – there is no minimum time, only a maximum time.
If you want a chance to be the 2024 NSW Rogaining Champions for your team category you’ll need to sign up to the 24-hour event.
Location
- Distance from Sydney: Approximately 3 hours (about 50 km south of Oberon).
- Distance from Canberra: Roughly the same distance, making it a great opportunity for ACTRA rogainers to test themselves against NSW competitors.
Accessing the event site involves a scenic drive through national park roads, so we recommend checking road conditions in advance and allowing extra time for travel.
