Wicked Christmas Rogaine
Wicked Christmas Rogaine is a rogaining fundraiser held on 14 December 2025 at Living Springs Farm Park on the Port Hills, Christchurch. The event offers multiple duration options and uses electronic punching.
Available event lengths include:
- 6 hour team event
- 4 hour team event
- 2 hour team event
- Wicked Kids Fun event (family option)
Rogaining involves teams navigating on foot by map and compass to visit checkpoints that carry different point values. Teams travel across open farmland, native forest and scrub, and terrain that includes valleys with moderately steep sides and some gentler front country. Higher ground provides scenic views. Shorter duration events often allow solo competitors. Team members are expected to stay within earshot of one another.
Competition classes include Men, Women and Mixed teams, with age categories Open, Junior (under 23), Veteran (40+) and Super Veteran (55+). A team normally consists of two to six members, with additional rules when a team includes a member under 14.
Mandatory equipment includes a polypropylene base layer top, waterproof jacket, hat and gloves, good footwear, one litre of water, whistle, pencil, first aid kit per team, one cellphone per team and one compass per team. The event emphasises respect for landowners and environmental care, including leaving gates as found and avoiding litter. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
