A big thank you yet again to Jon Glanville for another superb virtual rogaine, this time south of Lake Burley Griffin and around Red Hill and South Canberra. Jon found even more hidden gems with sculptures, artwork, interesting geology, great views and the obligatory cafes. All of these temptations did not slow down our fastest rogainers with four people getting around the whole course in less than four hours.
Our overall winner was Christopher Bradley perfecting his route to break 3 hours for all controls on his second attempt.
Notable category winners were fourth placed Mens Youth team of Hamish Mcewen and Owen Chenhall; Jonathan Ricks missing only 1 control and winning Mens Veterans; Craig Wisdom winning the Mens Supervets and Ultravets; Amber Mcculloch first in womens; Olivia Yates and Martin Duong as the first mixed team; and Craig, Archie, Kerrie and Zahlia Cowan again the first family team.
There were over 170 finishers of the virtual rogaine and other people who did not officially enter. There were a few people like Christopher and Liz Widdicombe who came back for two or three times.

It's not too late to enjoy this course or any of the other virtual rogaines that have been held over the last few years. All the maps, notes and other instructions are on the Virtual Rogaines web page.
We've restocked with ACTRA t-shirts.
After a chilly start, we had a glorious day for the Tuggeranong Hills and Playgrounds Metrogaine. About 300 competitors chose to explore the southern suburbs of Canberra and take in the beautiful Brindabella views.
