‘Return to Manna Flats Rogaine’ 12 Hour – 13th of September 2025
 |
 |
The ‘Return to Manna Flat’ Rogaine returns to an area not used for rogaining for many years. There is an abundance of beautiful open wandoo woodland and stunning spur/watercourses terrain without being overly hilly. The setters didn't manage to find any thick evil parrotbush so teams should be able to enjoy a pleasant stroll hunting for some of the less distinct features. Family friendly controls close to Hash House, and if you are prepared to wander a little bit further, some nice views to be had from higher elevations.
There's a large network of unmapped trailbike tracks throughout the Rogaine area which may tempt participants to see where they go. The Rogaine lends itself to covering good distances at a fair pace, and we’d expect the top team/s to clear the course (or get very close to it).
The Hash House and camping are located on a small pocket of farmland surrounded by National Park. There will be plenty of space for camping and caravans, as well as a roaring Hash House fire, so parents/kids - bring those marshmallows!
The setting and vetting teams consist of Shane Lewis, Volker Gartz, Alan Ryan and Alison Lang.
Entries are now Closed.
