Join us for the last of the North Queensland rogaining calendar, 3 or 6 hours of rogaining, your choice. The area for this event has recently been burned making for really easy travelling and lots of flat area for those who do not like the hills. It will be set to provide serious competitors with navigational challenges, tough route choices and even a little bit of night navigation, while novices will have plenty of options close to home in flat and easy to traverse country or challenge themselves on the harder course. As always in rogaining, you can be as competitive or as casual as you like. You decide how long you wish to stay out or return to the Hash for a hearty feed and a rest. Families and Novices are always welcome (this is a great course for novices and beginners)
It is only 50 minutes drive from the CBD of Cairns (about 45km), 12 minutes from Mareeba or Kuranda. The Hash House will have easy driving/parking for 2WD’s (look out for our signs and the Orange Gazebo’s).
