Rogaine 12hr Results Rogaine 6hr Results
The Mainly Tramping Rogaine was held in wonderful weather, centred around the Albert Town Tavern. 20 teams took to the local environs in the 12 hour event with some very good scoring. Phil Wood and Bruce McLeod took the honours in the men’s section, while the pairing of Deb Bain and Sally Dickson won the women’s, with the Christchurh pairing of Peter and Jane Montgomery scored the best in the mixed section.
The six hour was more of a local affair with Gavin Lang and Anna Simmonds of Wanaka taking out the mixed event, Anna and Gavin also had the highest score of the day in the six hour. Anna Basin and Anna O’Leary of Queenstown won the women’s while Robert White, Matt Griffin and Arnie took out the men’s section.
What was very impressive was the number that turned up for grab a map and the scores they returned with just a few hours in the field.
Thanks to all those that turned up and made the event such a success, also thanks to our sponsors Mainly Tramping, Export 33 and Horleys. Last but not least thanks to the landowners, if it wasn’t for their generosity these event would not take place.
Our next Rogaine will be the last Saturday in May from the Tarras Hall (TBC)
