Wellington Summer Afterwork Rogaine Series Results
- 25 Jan 2006

- After a bad weather start the weather improved for a while then got steadily windier. The 52 competitors reported a cryptic course with a couple of misplaced controls.

- 24 Jan 2006

The final team of 2 pulled into the base at the end of Bulls Run Road three and a half hours late - battered but unbowed.
