The Weka is back and even more Wily than ever!
After the success from 2025, Darron Jones and Dave Quested are back with another big foot rogaine, this time in "Nelson's Backyard" - once more details are known, this page will be updated asap. Wily Weka is a great event to test if your team is ready for the next big navigation adventure in New Zealand's great outdoors - lots of navigation challenges, and long enough to test your equipment and team dynamics!
It is NOC's big yearly event and helps to pay for new maps/equipment. If you like what we do, simply enter, and you'll be supporting us in return!
There are two options to choose from:
- 6-hour foot Rogaine;
- 3-hour foot Rogaine.
