Wicked Rogaines is thrilled to announce the upcoming Australasian 24hr Rogaining Championships (also the New Zealand 24hr rogaining championships), set to take place in the Lake Tekapo region from the 16th to the 17th of December 2023. The event’s HQ is Glenmore Station, 20min drive from Lake Tekapo.

This exciting event offers participants a chance to immerse themselves in a true wilderness adventure while making a positive impact. Alongside the challenging 24-hour championship event, there is also the Wicked Lake Tekapo Rogaine Festival with 15-hour, 6-hour, and 3- hour non-championship options, catering to participants of all levels. The Lake Tekapo region provides incredible terrain perfectly suited for rogaining enthusiasts. Its diverse landscapes include flat and rolling hills, pristine tarns, and steep/ technical alpine country, ensuring an awesome experience for all participants. But what truly sets this location apart are the fantastic views of the iconic lake and mountains and camping on Saturday night is included in your entry.

It’s worth noting that this is also a fundraiser for Lake Tekapo School, Lake Tekapo Bright Stars Community Trust and Red Cross, organisations dedicated to community education and opportunities. By participating, you not only challenge your limits but also make a very worthy contribution to Tekapo residents.
