- Information
- 20 November 2023
A view from the setting team by Peter Tuft. I had the pleasure of helping set the course but without organiser responsibilities, just a helper. I was impressed - with the location, map and organisation. The setting team got to know the area rather better than we really wanted or needed to, having done all the work to set, vet and place markers in 2022, and then another couple of long trips to... -

The 2023 WRC was held in the Lake Tahoe area of California. The Hash House was in the ski resort area known as Northstar. Usually, in the summer the area is flooded with mountain bikers and in winter skiers of all persuasions. This summer there was an influx of rogainers for the last weekend in July. The weather had been very hot and dry leading up to the rogaine and whilst the temperatures... -
Constitution Update
- Information
- 20 September 2023
The RT constitution was first adopted in 1995 and has had only minor amendments since.
