The Roche’s Rumble Foot and Bike Metrogaine (Sunday 24th August) is almost ready to rumble! Lace up your walking (or running) shoes or pump up your bike tyres, and get ready to explore the glorious range of coastal and bushland trails in Lauderdale and surrounds.

The Roche’s Rumble offers something for everyone: from a cruisy, family-friendly outing with opportunities to browse street libraries and spot bandicoots darting through the scrub, to a challenging run or ride to far-flung checkpoints dotted throughout the Tangara Trail network.

This event is less than 30 minutes from Hobart, and is the only metrogaine in the south for 2025, so don’t miss out! Entries close on Friday, 15th August.

Save these dates for a weekend of rogaining enjoyment featuring the 24-Hour Tasmanian Rogaining Championships. There will also be a non-championship 8-hour event.

Friday, 5th December (afternoon) - Hash House open for camping
Saturday, 6th December - 24-Hour starts and 8-hour event held
Sunday, 7th December - 24-hour event finishes

The event will be held west of Oatlands and has been named after a significant feature on the map - Stags Head. The terrain features pleasant grazed bushland on private farms and will provide plenty of challenges for both novice and experienced rogainers. And yes, newcomers are welcome at this event!

If you have any queries or would like to volunteer to help at the event, please contact Bernard Walker -

Entries will open in early October.

Congratulations to UTAS students Xavier Scott and Sam Woolford, who are this year’s Tasmanian recipients of the Nigel Aylott Memorial Sports Foundation funding. They will attend the Intervarsity Championships, which is being held in conjunction with the NSW Champs in mid-September. They will be a strong team. Xavier was in the winning team for the Australian Champs in Men’s Under 23 in 2023 and again in 2024 with Sam. Sam was on the winning team for the Deddington Dilemma held late last year. 

All the best for a fun and successful event!
