Lucky number 7! That's right folks, 7 years since we were last rogaining in Palmerston. And a few new suburbs to boot! The Autumn Fancies Urban Rogaine encompasses several of the more southern Palmerston suburbs and fringe bush areas too. Mitchell Creek is a focal point and runs down the centre of the map. Some of the tracks leading to the controls around the creek may provide the more adventurous rogainers with technical riding challenges and/or wet feet - do not wear your Sunday best! Rogainers can choose to throw caution to the wind in the dirt / mud / long grass, or play it high and dry on a more suburban route. All controls are accessible via paved roads or dirt tracks. There is something for everyone - and you will get plenty of controls if you plan your route well! (Challenge accepted)?!
There are three exciting events to choose from:
5 hr TRANSPIRATION (walk/run) - maps out at 1:00pm - event will run 3:00pm to 8:00pm.
4 hr BOTANICAL (cycle) - maps out at 1:30pm - event will run 3:30pm to 7:30pm.
3 hr LEAF PEEPER (walk/run) - maps out at 2:00pm - event will run 4:00pm to 7:00pm.
