Sun 30 August - Have a go Rogaining - Brookland Zoo

ROGAINING FOR EVERYONE – Rogaining Have a Go Event

Come along and give rogaining a try at this free community event! Starts between 1200 - 1300.

Rogaining is a fun navigation challenge where participants use a map to find as many checkpoints as possible within a set time limit. You can choose your own route and complete the course at your own pace — walk, jog, or run.

This event is suitable for all experience levels, including beginners, families, and groups of friends wanting to explore together. Whether you’re aiming to be competitive or simply enjoy an outdoor adventure, rogaining is a great way to build navigation skills, strategy, and teamwork.

Participants can decide how many checkpoints they want to visit, making it easy to tailor the challenge to suit all ages and fitness levels.

Come along, learn something new, and enjoy a fun day outdoors.

Free event – everyone welcome!
