2017 Victorian Rogaining Championships (24hr) and Non-championship Bush Rogaine (8hr) - 7 October 2017 - Graytown area
Online Entry is now open with Late Date of 27th September.
This event is north of Graytown, 150 kms or 1.8 hrs from Melbourne CBD accessed from Melbourne via Heathcote. The unique bushland of the Heathcote Graytown National Park and Redcastle Graytown State Forest has been host to many great Rogaines over the years however the Hash House location is new or has not be used for so long few will remember. This means new terrain for many who prefer only the shorter events. The mature Grasstrees are a must see in the area. The 24hr Rogaine is the 2017 Nigel Aylott Victorian Championship and we have a short course 8hr Rogaine for those we know prefer a single day event. You can do the 8hr and probably be in before dark however remember no one plans to be late but normally some seem enjoy themselves so much they over stay their plan. Please carry a torch for the 8hr.
The Hash House is centrally located with four main loops and many variations of route choice possible. This means there are ample options for 8 hr teams and for 24 hr teams who may come in for a quick feed or some sleep. More Information.
Update 13-Sep - We need Volunteers: The key position of Catering Manager, and Equipment Mgr are still vacant plus we need General Helpers. A number of our regulars who have filled these positions for the Vic Champs in the past are interstate of overseas this year. We need your help. The Online Volunteer Roster has been split into Saturday and Sunday for this event. Volunteers do not have to be there for both days. Volunteer Saturday and enjoy a few hours on course on Sunday or return home. Compete on Saturday and volunteer on Sunday or travel up for Sunday. Do the night shift to feed the weary Rogainers to hear their war stories. We know we ask a lot but that is Rogaining. We are 100% volunteers. We must fill these key positions soon. Please browse the Volunteer Roster for the latest.
