It’s time for the ’25 Rogaining State Champs!
This year it’ll be held at Mount Werong (about 50kms south of Oberon) which is regarded as some of the best rogaining country in the world! It will also incorporate the Intervarsity championship alongside the state champs. There will be both a 24 hour & 8 hour event, although if you want to compete for the title you must enter the 24 hour. I’ll be entering in the state champs only, but it would be great if we could get a Uni team together to compete in the Intervarsity Champs!
Let me know in the signup if you need help organising teams, let me know if you’re entering the 8 or 24 hour, pacing preference, navigation experience/previous rogaines attended & if you need to borrow any club gear (Compass, Camping gear, etc.). We’ll also be camping out on the Friday night with a campfire and the obligatory marshmallows :]

More information on the Intervarsity championship:
To be eligible for the Intervarsity championship, all team members must be students enrolled at the same tertiary education institution, with that institution recognised by UniSport Australia. There is no age restriction, permitting under-graduate, post-graduate and mature student to compete.
Travel bursaries, sponsored by the Nigel Aylott Memorial Sports Foundation, are available to cover the travel costs of one team from each state/territory to compete at the Intervarsity Rogaining Championships. Entrants should contact their state rogaining association as soon as possible for details about their selection process for the state representative team.
