If you missed the Night/Day/Cycle Rogaine at Kowen Forest or just want to get out there again, you can do either a Foot or Cycle (both 6 hours) event.

Jono Fearn and Ciaran Lane have set a great course with some fun riding on the remaining MTB trails and some enticing bush and pine forest for some cross country navigation on foot.

The virtual event will run until Monday 5 October. The pink marking tape for the control sites marks the locations.

Great to see some new and some familiar faces over the weekend as rogaining started to return to "in-person" events. The event will now continue as a virtual MapRun event - there will be some maps available at Paddy Pallin, and the event will appear in the MapRunF app. Maps are available here in A3 size or 2 x A4 pages for printing, along with the course setters' notes and control descriptions. 

Saturday night had some drizzle and mist but cleared to a starry night. The calm conditions meant it didn't get too cold, but visibility made navigation challenging. Sunday was clear and sunny but with a steady breeze blowing. Conditions underfoot were damp and slippery with a bit of mud in places.

A big thanks to all the volunteers who made the event happen. Stephen Goggs wrangling toilets and running admin, Jonathan Fearn, Ciaran Lane, Dane Roberts and Keira Banks for setting and hanging the controls on a great course, and Kelvin Peh for managing First Aid.

The Winter 4 hour virtual rogaine in Jerrabomberra and Queanbeyan has now finished, after being run for an extra two weeks due to popular demand! It was a rogaine for everyone with a little bit of everything, from trails to footpaths, hills to flats, and tracks to bush-bashing. Well done to all who entered and we hope you enjoyed it each time you went out there.

Results are now available on the event page. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for entries opening to the upcoming Day/Night/Cycle rogaine at Kowen Forest and Sparrow Hill!
