The Rogue Raid – Last updated 03/05/2021

The 2021 Rogue Raid Race Document

This document contains all the information you will need to prepare for the Rogue Raid. It will be updated periodically in the lead up to the race. Teams are set for another traditional Rogue Raid challenge with plenty of off-road travel and navigational tests on a journey around the Mt Joyce area, exploring some locations new to adventure racing in QLD. It will be a true test of a team’s physical, navigational and strategic strength.

Concept

The Rogue Raid is a race where teams compete to collect as many checkpoints as possible over a 24 hour (or 6 hour) time period. The Rogue involves multiple stages of the traditional adventure racing disciplines of trekking, mountain biking and kayaking where teams must navigate the course using a map and compass on a route of their own choice. Each stage is effectively its own small rogaine where competitors may attempt to collect as many or as few checkpoints as they wish, making this event achievable by all levels of athlete. Strategy, precise navigation and perseverance will play just as a significant role as raw fitness. 2021 will represent the twelfth running of the Rogue Raid which has grown to be Australia’s largest 24 hour adventure race.

Race HQ Location

Race HQ will be situated at the eastern Wyaralong Dam recreation area. Facilities include toilets, along with limited water and shelter at the 24 hour HQ location. There is no accommodation or camping on site – teams are encouraged to seek their own local accommodation options.

The 24 hour and 6 hour events will be hosted out of slightly different locations as per the site map below. Please note the relevant parking locations including restrictions on parking for competitors on the ring road.

Approximate Distances

The Rogue Raid in 2021 spans up to 175km of hills and waterways in the Mt Joyce region. There are a total of 65 check points up for grabs for a total of 2,400 points in the 24 hour race.

24 Hour Trekking: 0 – 54km 6 Hour Trekking: 2 – 20km Kayaking: 7 – 49km Kayaking: 0 – 7km Mountain Biking: 10 – 72km Mountain Biking: 0 – 25km

Format

Teams will be required to attempt multiple legs of alternating race disciplines. Each leg must be attempted in order, and once a leg is completed teams may not return to it to collect missed checkpoints later unless otherwise specified in the course notes. However, within each leg, teams may collect as many checkpoints in any order that they wish. All check points are optional. Note that teams may only collect checkpoints that are from the current leg that they are on. Note also that some stages of the race may have “opening” or “closing” times.

This format of event allows for a very social atmosphere of racing with teams constantly being brought together. Each stage of the Rogue Raid is separated by a transition area. Any team that makes it back to Race HQ under their own power will be considered ranked with an official result. Although we have hosted a number of Raid events at Wyaralong Dam in the past, this will be the first time a 24 hour race has been run from this venue, so expect to explore some all new locations never visited in an adventure race before. Teams will need their navigational wits about them.

Disciplines

• Trekking – both on and off-trail. • Mountain Biking – on sealed and unsealed roads, single-track, fire trails and farm tracks. • Kayaking – on flat-water lake/s • Navigation – moderate to challenging.

Weather

In early May, Mt Joyce typically has average temperature maximums of 23°C, dropping to 13°C overnight, with only 3 wet days a month on average. Five days from the race, they are predicting temperatures of 9°C to 26°C, partly cloudy with very little chance of rain – perfect AR weather! Sunset time is 5:17pm (last light at 5:41pm) and sunrise time at 6:16am (first light at 5:51am).

Maps

Each competitor will receive a set of premarked, event specific, waterproof rogaine maps. The number, size and scale of each map is as follows:

• 24 Hour Teams – 2 x 1:25,000 A3 maps • 6 Hour Teams – 1 x 1:20,000 A4 map

Bike Drop

Teams racing on the 24 hour course will need to perform a bike drop prior to arriving at HQ. The bike drop opens at 7:15am and will be unmanned before then. They will also need to leave their pre-packed gear box at this location. What to leave in this gear box should be apparent from the pre-race logistics matrix (ie, food, shoes, lights, etc for the longest trekking and biking stage of the race). This gear box will be moved back to HQ at the end of Stage 5.

The bike drop location is the Overflow Estate 1895 Winery. The address is 1660 Beaudesert Boonah Rd, Wyaralong. Follow the event officials directions and be aware that parking space is limited and to drive carefully on the gravel road in.

Typically it is only a 12 minute drive from the bike drop to race HQ, however there is currently road construction occurring on the section of Boonah Beaudesert Rd causing delays of up to 5 minutes which should be taken into consideration when planning your timings.

All 6 hour teams should bring their bikes to race HQ with them.

The Rogue Raid – Last updated 03/05/2021

Gear Boxes

All 24 hour teams are required to bring one (1) plastic gear box. Teams of 4 may be permitted a box up to 120L in size (for example a black “XPD” style box) while teams of 2 are permitted a box up to 60L in size. These must be left with the bikes, pre-packed and ready to go at the bike drop location. They will eventually be moved back to race HQ with the aim of returning them prior to Stage 7 opening at 5:00am. Boxes must be labelled with a team name and have a secure lid.

Teams in the 6 hour event do not need to provide a gear box, but will be able to access gear at HQ during the race.

Paddles, PFDs and Kayak Drop

Teams are required to provide their own paddles and PFDs for the race. For those that need these provided, paddles and PFDs can be hired from Adam from Navis Outdoors for $5 each via the web form here. These will be available in the transition area at the start of all the kayak stages for you.

Teams on the 6 hour course need to leave their paddles and PFDs at the boat ramp next to the 24 hour HQ site location on route. All teams will finish with all of their equipment at race HQ (there are no gear collections after the race).

Teams in the 24 hour race providing their own kayaks need to drop these at the grassy area between race HQ and the boat ramp before continuing to the main car park, or better yet, just carry them over from the main car park given the limited space at the boat ramp.

Teams in the 24 hour BYO kayak category (including the 11 teams that are hiring double CTRs from the organiser) are permitted to access their kayaks and set up boats prior to the race. Teams in the A1 mixed teams of 4 category are not allowed to access the double CTRs until the start of stage 2. There are no significant portages during the race - portage trolleys are not required or permitted.

Teams in the 24 hour race will be required to load their kayaks onto the kayak trailer before being allowed to continue in the race. This includes personal kayaks – all due care will be taken with personal kayaks and we have a sound system in place for moving them safely. Teams will also need a method of bundling their paddles, PFDs and kayak seats together before loading them directly in the box trailer.

Please note that with a BYO kayak category, there are extra levels of self-responsibility around your safety. Please ensure that your craft is in a sound, watertight condition and fit for purpose. Teams must ensure they select a craft suitable to their level of ability when assessing speed versus stability – it can get choppy in the afternoon when the wind picks up on the lake.

The Rogue Raid – Last updated 03/05/2021

Water

Teams in the 6 hour race will need to provide their own water for the duration of the event, that is, before, during and after the race. There are toilets but no potable water at the 6 hour HQ. You will pass through race HQ multiple times and will be able to resupply from there during the race.

Teams in the 24 hour race should note the locations of available water on the course logistics matrix. There is water at race HQ, but it is from a difficult tap to access to fill bottles and bladders, so consider bringing enough for your needs at HQ. There is no water at TA-A. Teams will need to carry enough water with them on the kayaks for all of stages 2, 3 and 4 – up to 7 hours worth. There is water provided at TA-B, however please use sparingly.

Any natural water sourced on the course will need to be purified prior to drinking as there is a heavy cattle presence in the area.

Navlight Timing Tags and Phones

Navlight timing tags will be distributed to teams at 8:15am for the 6 hour course and 10:00am for the 24 hour course. There is one per person. Please ensure they are attached firmly and correctly so that they don’t get lost during the event as they are quite expensive to replace and this cost will fall on you. You will need to check in with the briefing punch just prior to the race start. Tags will be read intermittently throughout the 24 hour race at transition areas to allow officials to keep an accurate leaderboard of progressive scores on the live website. Tags will be collected by an official when you return to the finish site and your score is downloaded.

Teams in the 24 hour race will also need to bring their mandatory phone with them when collecting navlight tags to be sealed away (make sure they are waterproofed). Trackers will also need to be issued at this time.

Shoes

Teams in both the 24 hour and 6 hour race that ride with clip-in pedals will not need to carry their running shoes during the race. However, it should be noted that there is a significant section of hike-a-bike in the 24 hour event which teams may wish to use trekking shoes for (more below in the “Terrain” section of the race document.

The Rogue Raid – Last updated 03/05/2021

Terrain

The Rogue Raid returns to some more traditional rogaine terrain with the 2021 race, not seen since possibly the 2018 event. Indeed, this is the most “rogaine-like” Rogue course ever with trekking a significant feature of the race with plenty of off-trail, spur-gulley type navigation. The course setters noted that after all of the rain, the grass is extremely long at the moment, but fortunately the spear grass has not quite come into seed yet.

All of the paddling will be on the flat water lake of Wyaralong Dam.

There is a real mix of fantastic biking options at Mt Joyce taking in the single track network of the mountain bike park, management fire trails and farming tracks with very little sealed roads. While the mountain bike distance is significantly shorter than previous editions of the Rogue as a proportion of the course, the difficulty should not be underestimated. Indeed, there is one section of approximately 5km of hike-a-bike on the 24 hour course that is unavoidable for any team looking to access the bulk of the mountain bike check points and teams should take this into consideration when planning their course timings.

The course overall is rated “moderate” in terms of hills. It’s not our hilliest course ever, but also not our flattest. Navigation and strategy is going to play a significant component of the 2021 Rogue Raid. Can the course be swept for only the second time ever in the race’s history?

Scoring

Scoring will be performed using the electronic Navlight Timing System. Please advise officials at registration if you are unfamiliar with the use of this system. All team members will be required to wear wrist tags, and to visit the punch within 30 seconds of each other for the control to count towards their score. Lost tags will incur a fee of $75. The Rogue Raid will adopt a traditional rogaine scoring format where each checkpoint will be assigned a certain score value: each CP will be numbered numerically in order, with a score value in brackets afterwards. For example, CP2 from the first stage of the race may have a value of 50 points, while CP42 from a later stage might only have a value of 20 points. In the event of a tied score, the team that finishes earlier will be ranked higher. Teams arriving after the finish time will receive a penalty of 10 points per minute they are late or part thereof, up to 30 minutes. At this point the course will be closed down and teams that have not finished will lose all points. Time credits may apply for teams held back by the opening of a stage, but only if they have swept the course up until that point.

Adventure 1

The Rogue Raid is the second race of the national Adventure1 series, supported by Mountain Designs. There are 20 teams competing in the A1 category, battling for the title of Australian National AR Champions.

The Rogue Raid – Last updated 03/05/2021

Live Website

We will be running a live website for spectators at home to follow the action. This will include a live leaderboard updating team’s scores during the race, social media commentary on news from the course and a photo gallery. 24 hour teams will also be assigned a GPS tracker so spectators can follow their progress via the Living It Live platform. Competitors are not allowed to access this live site during the race.

A link to the live website can be found here: https://raidadventures.com/2021live/
