Run / Walk	Mitre 10 Wanaka Rogaine This Rogaine may deviate slightly from Ed's classics. Terry is keen to include a bit of MTBing and a couple of extra 'adventureous' activites for those who are keen. The great thing about a Rogaine is you choose which controls to go after so you set your own degree of difficulty!
