With the cancellation of the Interstate Challenge at Bungonia, ACTRA is stepping into the breach and organising a final bush event for the year.
Details subject to final confirmation from land managers.
The 2025 Spring 6 and 12 hour Bondo rogaineswill be held at Bondo State Forest, west of Canberra between Brindabella and Tumut, NSW on Saturday 15 November.
The area features a mix of native and pine forest. The course has been designed with to provide easier routes that use the well-defined features, and more challenging loops for those looking for a physical and navigational challenge.
The starts of the events will be at 11am. The six hour will finish at 5 pm, and 12 hour will finish at 11 pm. This is a good event to step up to a 12 hour as there will only be about 2:40 hrs of dark.
Entries cost to come. Under 14 free. No solo entries for this event - teams of 2 to 5 people.
We hope to open entries around 25 October. Entries, once opened, will be open to 11:59 pm Sunday 9 November without late fees. Entries receieved between then and complete close at 11:59 pm on Wednesday 12 November incur a late fee of $10 per person.
Camping is available at the Hash House site which is a basic clearing in the forest. You are welcome to camp on both the Friday and Saturday nights. Catering will only be available at the end of each event so please be self-sufficient for any other time you will be camping including Sunday breakfast.
If you do stay overnight, we'd love some help with control collecting!
