This follows the resolution of a date clash with another major night navigation event also in Otago, and reciprocal agreement over membership and future national championships. This will be the first full-length rogaine in NZ since the World Championship in Jan 2000.
The terrain is described as rolling spur-gully farmland, a mixture of grazed pasture and open tussock with a few forestry plantations. Altitude ranges from 80 to 1000m "with little flat country". Sounds ominous! But the organisers include Pete Squires and Bill Kennedy who are among the country's most experienced rogainers, so a good event is promised.
For details and entry form, go to the NZRA calendar. Entries close 20 Feb.
