Concept:

This year's event will continue to follow a general Rogaine concept similar to last year. There will be groups of scored tasks for completion, a need to utilize ground support transport and a slightly different starting regime for the crews.

Location:

The challenge will be held at Castle Hill Village, North Canterbury (on the way to Arthurs Pass) over the three days 13-14-15 October 2011 with a maximum of 16 crews participating per day. Click here for Location Map

Accommodation:

Due to length of the day's challenge, crews and IMT participants that have long distances to travel are encouraged to spend the night/s at Castle Hill Village. Bunk rooms will be available and there are camping sites at the location. Registration for accommodation will be available in August.

Catering:

Lunches will be supplied for the day of participation with breakfast and dinner available if required on either side of a participation day. Registration for meal requirements will be available in August.

Vehicle Fuel:

For those traveling from afar, the last fuel stops will be Arthurs Pass (Challenge closing 6pm) if you are coming from the West Coast, or Springfield (Challenge closing 7pm) if you are coming from the East Coast. There is a Mobil fuel card station at Sheffield a bit before Springfield.
