  • 01.12.2009 - The Moonshine24 is the 2010 New Zealand Rogaining Championship, to be held on 17 & 18 April 2010, in the Akatarawas. Although this area is well known by mountain bikers and Karapoti Classic competitors, it is new rogaining territory. While all rogaines are tough, requiring teams to compete for 24 hours, the Moonshine 24 offers some extra challenges. As well as the typical NZ style steep terrain dotted with native bush and pines, there are a number of spectacular gorges and canyons dissecting the race area. Warm and enticing in the middle of a summer day, these may not be such an easy or fun proposition by moonlight. And having only been seen by a handful of people, they are also the must-visit feature of the Moonshine24. Visit www.moonshine24.co.nz for event information and registration.
