The IRF Executive calls for Expressions of Interest (EoI) to host 21st World Rogaining Championship in 2029. Countries wishing to conduct the WRC must submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) by 31 March 2026.

Expressions of Interest must be in accordance with the guidelines in the Requirements for Expressions of Interest.

World Rogaining Championships can only be conducted under the technical and organizational supervision of an IRF Member. However, it is not necessary that the WRC be conducted in the country of the IRF Member providing this supervision. The IRF strongly encourages:

• IRF Members to consider conducting WRCs in neighbouring countries who are not IRF Members but where quality rogaining terrain exists
• Rogaining groups from non-IRF Member countries to partner with an IRF Member to conduct a WRC in their country
• IRF Members to actively seek opportunities to partner with rogaining groups from non-IRF Member countries and support them to conduct a WRC

If you are interested in submitting an Expression of Interest and have questions, please contact the IRF World Championships Manager.

This is an exciting opportunity for a country to show off a special or unique area to a large number of rogainers around the world, to bring associated tourism to your country, and provide a world class event for local competitors. Hosting the World Rogaining Championships puts your chosen region on a map for many people.
