Australian Rogaining Championships 2012 Print E-mail

IMGP0320.jpgCongratulations to Sarah Buckerfield and Ben Greenwood who won the mixed open and Australian University Championships titles for 2012.

The ACT, and the Australian National University, took out the top three places in the Australian University Rogaining Champs with Sarah and Ben in first, Phillip Gatt and Thomas Brazier in second, and Galen Correy and Oliver Lee in third.  Well done.

The event was well run by the South Australians and they had certainly chosen a beautiful spot to show off the best rogaining country in the Flinders Ranges.

See full results including team splits and routes.

The ACT Champs and 8-hr event lived up to the promises from course setters Jean Douglass and Ron Simpson.  It was a beautiful area perfect for rogaining with open tree cover with little undergrowth and good spur-gully country to keep the navigation interesting.  Two teams saw a koala.

Congratulations to the 8hr winners.  The team of Martin Dearnley, Louise Dearnley, Graham Field, and Tristan White won overall.

Many ACT rogainers who are past or present ANU students may have participated in Inward Bound - a truly unique ANU event and has just been run for the 50th time.  Over 200 students participated in the event this year which saw Majors’ Creek the endpoint of a long and arduous course.

On 28 April 2012, all ANU alumni who have participated in Inward Bound – as runners and organisers – are invited to join us for a 50th Anniversary Celebration Dinner in the W P Packard Dining Hall at Bruce Hall.

ACT Champs has mini-buses Print E-mail

Have you entered the ACT Champs 24 hr event yet?  Please do so before Monday 9 March or sooner.  We are offering a heavily subisides bus (thanks ACT Sport and Rec) to the event so you do not have to drive home tired after the event.  Only $10 full or $5 concession.  Please choose the bus option when you do your event entry.

The ACT champs on 14-15 April 2012 will be in a new area an hour from Canberra - native forest with no scrub - a rogainers dream come true.  Dry eucalypt forest, clear underfoot, beautiful spurs and gullies, gentle hills and koalas that eat bark – what more could you ask for? 

The area is mainly privately owned but not farmed, and has a history of gold mining. It is an easy hour and a bit drive south of Canberra.  There are a few fire trails for speedier travel and controls near the Hash House will be easier navigation for beginners.  Not so for controls further out! 

Catering included in entry and provided by Hartley Lifecare.  All night café too.
