If you are anything like me, as 2021 draws closer to its inevitable conclusion your eyes are already cast ahead to 2022 and the potential that it holds. With internal state borders beginning to open and the allure of even international travel commencing again soon, next year holds a ton of promise. Front and centre to all of those plans is the Raid 100. I was initially overwhelmed with the […]

With just four more sleeps to go until the twelfth annual running of the Rogue Raid, it’s time to turn our hands to a review of the course and the competition for the title.

Over 280 competitors are […]
Well, that is a wrap on the 2020 Wildfire Raid. We had a great field of teams this year with 192 competitors, going well over our initial cap, and many of these were first time racers. I was pretty happy how the course came together, and felt confident that I would not have to backtrack again this year on my prediction that it would not be swept. Feedback is always […]

Now in its eleventh year, the Rogue Raid (formerly the Rogue Adventuregaine) has explored courses all over south east Queensland and even extending into northern New South Wales with an epic 100 hour journey in 2019. This year’s course offers up something a little different from the typical Rogue course, […]
Not surprisingly, it has been very uncertain times in the event management sphere. I know were all itching to get back out and racing rogaines and adventure races. Obviously there is a lot of uncertainty around when this will be possible, however it’s always great to have a “Plan A” (and a B, C and D if you’re an adventure racer!), so below is a quick update on the changes […]
