| Yarrabilby Hop 8 Hour Rogaine – new date Unfortunately we had to postpone the Yarrabilby Hop Rogaine which we had planned for early August. The main landowner had withdrawn permission to use the land due to the Covid-19 outbreak in Logan. We are still planning to hold the event, and we are seeking permissions for Saturday 17 October. As soon as we have confirmed land access, we will open up entries again. Full refunds will be provided for those who have entered and cannot now participate. The event page is here.

It will also be a challenging and exciting competition for the elite rogainer.Our 3/6hr cyclegaine event will be held on Sunday 8 November, and will take in some of the very scenic granite boulder country including forestry and farmland.Entries will open on the event page soon. Raid Events The 24hr Rogue Raid was held on 29-30 August, and those that took part were treated to an exciting course that included paddling around the southern Bay islands, trekking on South Stradbroke, and mountain biking on some of SEQ’s best single track. Full results and lots of photos and commentary can be found on the results page. The GPS tracking system was very good, you can play back the whole race on the tracking website and compare how teams did on each leg (right-click anywhere on the course and choose ‘mass start from here’): http://www.tulospalvelu.fi/gps/20200829rogueraid/ For those that took part, please take the time to complete this 1 minute survey from the race, which helps the race sponsors Logan City Council https://raidadventures.com/logan-survey/ The Wildfire Raid will be held on 19 September, and there are still entries available if you would like to take part.
