Every year in the build up to the Rogue Adventuregaine, we take time out to have a look at the contenders for the title. I don’t like to get too hung up on the race for first place. In an adventure race, every team is out there pushing their own personal limits, with the course […]

The Tides are Turning (Again)
In mid-2015 a group of us took on the challenge of paddling 82km from the mouth of the Brisbane River up to Colleges Crossing. A trip report can be found here.

ARWC (fantasy) Win!
So for a “race” report with a bit of a difference. If you are an adventure racer, you would have to be living under a rock to not know that the 2015 Adventure Racing World Champs has just drawn to a close, with NZ’s team Seagate convincing repeat winners.

2016 Rogue24 Will Explore D’Aguilar NP
Note about edits (29/11/15): After the original location announcement made in September, I have decided to move the race HQ venue for the 2016 Rogue24 Adventuregaine to Lake Manchester.

Coastal High 50 Report
Despite regularly run training for years, I still don’t think of myself as a runner, but just something I do as a by-product of rogaining and adventure racing. I’ve tried my hand at a few trail running races up to 50km in length in the past (never a road race though) and sit comfortably in […]

Rogue in the Media
Through a couple of small coincidences, I’ve managed to find myself in the media a couple of times recently to discuss my involvement in a small research project examining the effects of sleep deprivation in endurance athletes. Just to take a step back, I’ve got a scientific research background as a day job – you’ve […]

Team Rogue Podium at Expedition Alaska
If I had to sum up my experience at Expedition Alaska in a single word, it would be Raw. Alaska is certainly a spectacular canvas for an adventure race with a vast expanse of trackless mountains, roaring rivers and wilderness terrain, all waiting to be explored. All the pre-race information released by the event organizers […]

Nudity Optional
GeoQuest is my favourite weekend of racing every year. With the Expedition Alaska start line just around the corner, a lot of my energy has been put towards preparing the gear and travel for this race, and I didn’t have much time to focus on GeoQuest. I knew I didn’t want to miss the race […]
