St Kilda Scramble metrogaine

Keen for an all-abilities, accessible, Melbourne based scavenger hunt? Come try metrogaining! The city version of rogaining. This event will be a 6 hour rogaine based in the Port Phillip City council. This means that it is perfect for people who want to spend a Sunday morning strolling (or running depending on how competitve you are) around the streets of Melbourne. More accessible than the traditional rogaine due to location this is the perfect opportunity to discover this wonderful sport. 

MUMC will be entering teams into this event. If you have team members in mind or are looking for people to team up with, come along to the meeting where we will be organising teams. All people are welcome to join, whether it is your first time or your 100th! This is also a perfect opportunity to give back to the community and volunteer. People who volunteer their time at a rogaine get free entry into a following rogaine of their choice!

The rogaine is organised by the Victorian Rogaining Association, more info about the event can be found here: https://rogainevic.org.au/metrogaine-11th-august-2024/ 

Note: trip meeting is 2 Tuesdays before the event. This is so we can get teams registered before the cut off date. If you want to attend the trip, but cannot make the meeting, email me or chuck a message in the comments

What is Rogaining?

Rogaining is the sport of distance cross-country navigation in which teams of two to five members visit as many checkpoints as possible in the specified time (usually 6 or 12 hours). Its kind of a mix between trail running, hiking and orienteering. At our meeting we will explain the rules in more detail, and if you want to read more, see here: https://rogainevic.org.au/about/
