 After a couple of years off (thanks Covid), the Port Hills Spring Rogaine is returning in 2022. Put Sunday 21th August on your calendar for a navigation challenge with plenty of vert, 6hr or 3hr options. 

This year, the event centre will be in Tai Tapu and the event area will include some great terrain in the western Port Hills. 

Proceeds from this year's event will go to help our top local junior orienteers travel to the Junior World Orienteering Champs in Portugal where they will represent NZ on the world stage.

Entries opening soon.
