Town and Country Rogaine (6 Hour)

Event Results can be downloaded from here

The 6 hour Town & Country Metrogaine will be held on Sunday 14 May, around and south of Kingston.  The course covers suburbs around Kingston, bushland including Peter Murrell Reserve and the Tinderbox area, and rural country to the west and south as far as Margate.  There is plenty of gorgeous coastal scenery as well.

 
This is an event that is about scenery, interesting locations, and route choice dilemmas, with less emphasis on difficult navigation.  It’s your opportunity to explore as much or as little of Hobart’s southern fringe as you wish, with plenty of choice.  Most of your routes will be on roads or tracks, or perhaps across paddocks.  There won’t be much bush or scrub (unless you really want it).  You will have the chance to stroll around with time for a coffee at the beach, or to run flat out for 6 hours and still not get all the controls (we hope!).

 
The hash house is at the Huntingfield Pony Club in the southwestern corner of Peter Murrell Reserve.  Maps will be available from 8:00 am, start time is 10:00 am, finish at 4:00 pm, light supper available from the hash house after the finish (BYO bowls, plates, cups and cutlery).  Vegetarian and gluten free options will be available.
 
The map is 1:25 000, specially prepared for this event with particular attention to showing out-of-bounds areas and routes through them.  The hash house is close to the centre of the map.
