Wicked Rogaines Winter Series (WWNR2026)
Wicked Rogaines Winter Series runs six events in June, July and August 2026 around Christchurch, New Zealand. Each event offers map-based rogaining with options for organised evening events and a virtual alternative using the MapRun app.
Each week a new course is released and then made available for the Virtual Series. The series includes organised Wednesday Wicked Rogaines with physical electronic controls and a parallel Virtual Rogaine option that uses the MapRun app so participants do not touch physical controls. Virtual results are unofficial and do not count toward the Wicked League; Wednesday events use official WR scoring and count for the league.
Event formats and competition style include 2-hour rogaines, a 1-hour option, and a Wicked Kids Fun Event for children under 7 who must be accompanied by an adult. Rogaining is typically done in teams of two to five, or solo on shorter courses. Teams navigate on foot by map and compass, visit scored checkpoints in any order, and submit results via the MapRun system or by uploading GPS tracks.
Event locations include Scarborough (Clock Tower, Sumner), Hansen Park (Opawa), McCormacks Bay Reserve (Mt Pleasant), South Brighton Domain, Holliss Reserve (Westmorland) and Ferrymead Park (Ferrymead) on listed dates in 2026.
Recommended mandatory safety gear includes a mobile phone with full battery, polypro top, warm hat, gloves, rain jacket, whistle and headlamp with spare battery. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
