After a chilly start, we had a glorious day for the Tuggeranong Hills and Playgrounds Metrogaine. About 300 competitors chose to explore the southern suburbs of Canberra and take in the beautiful Brindabella views.

Big congratulations to Oscar Brown who took out the event, very nearly clearing the course. David Baldwin was second, with Braedy Jaugietis third. Check out the full results below. Congratulations to all other placegetters. 

The Tuggeranong Homestead was a wonderful Hash Hash location - full of rustic charm, but most importantly delicious home made food at the finish. The soup got rave reviews and the pork bao buns were definitely a rogaine first! The wide selection of homemade cakes also went down a treat. 

Big thanks to all the volunteers who helped put on the event - from setters, control hangers, map makers, team admin, parking, tag cutters, pack up and control collectors ... plus so much more. Without the volunteers these events just don't happen!

A big thank you yet again to Jon Glanville for another superb virtual rogaine, this time south of Lake Burley Griffin and around Red Hill and South Canberra. Jon found even more hidden gems with sculptures, artwork, interesting geology, great views and the obligatory cafes. All of these temptations did not slow down our fastest rogainers with four people getting around the whole course in less than four hours.

Our overall winner was Christopher Bradley perfecting his route to break 3 hours for all controls on his second attempt.

Notable category winners were fourth placed Mens Youth team of Hamish Mcewen and Owen Chenhall; Jonathan Ricks missing only 1 control and winning Mens Veterans; Craig Wisdom winning the Mens Supervets and Ultravets; Amber Mcculloch first in womens; Olivia Yates and Martin Duong as the first mixed team; and Craig, Archie, Kerrie and Zahlia Cowan again the first family team.

There were over 170 finishers of the virtual rogaine and other people who did not officially enter. There were a few people like Christopher and Liz Widdicombe who came back for two or three times.

See the web page for all results.

It's not too late to enjoy this course or any of the other virtual rogaines that have been held over the last few years. All the maps, notes and other instructions are on the Virtual Rogaines web page.

A big thank you to Jon Glanville for another superb virtual rogaine, this time around the lake and hills of Tuggeranong and Kambah.
