Volunteer Roles
This event is run entirely by volunteers, and entries will not open until the organiser is satisfied that we have enough helpers. As a general rule, if you’ve done more than five events without giving up the chance to compete and volunteering, it’s time to put up your hand. Or perhaps you have some family members who can help out, while you compete? This table shows the roles we need help with and the kind volunteers who have already put up their hands. If you can help out, or have family members who can, please email volunteer@qldrogaine.asn.au. You could earn a Volunteer Reward, and some roles will still allow you to compete in the event.

About
The 2025 Rogaining Queensland season opener!
The Paddlegaine will be held on Lake Wivenhoe, which is always a favourite. Whilst Lake Wivenhoe has been used in events before, the Hamon Cove HQ gives access to some spectacular parts of the Lake that most people will not have seen before. A race against the clock, spend up to 3 hours paddling (with just enough trekking or running to stretch your legs!), hunting down checkpoints.
You have the choice of using the supplied Spirit CTR double kayaks, or BYO kayaks. The supplied CTR kayaks are limited in their availability, so make sure you get your entry in quick unless you are BYO.
What? A race where teams of 2 compete to collect as many check points as possible in up to 3 hours while kayaking, navigating with map and compass. The beauty of the rogaine format is you can choose to spend as much time on the course as you wish (up to 3 hours) … 15 minutes or 3 hours, it is up to you!
The AGM of the Queensland Rogaine Association will be held at the conclusion of the event, please stay and join in – we need you! The sport of rogaining is run entirely by volunteers, and we need all participants (members of the Association) to pitch in to keep the sport going.
