QRA would like to thank Gill and Paul for their efforts bringing together the 2026 Metrogaine - Rockin the River last weekend. New Location, New Navgame App and many course options provided a spectacular day and lots of memories from the participants.

We know these events don't magically happen and there is a lot of work behind the scenes including from the volunteers that helped on the day.

Many thanks Gill and Paul and the Metrogaine Volunteer Team!!

Congratulations to all teams who took part in the 3-hour Rockin’ the River Metrogaine!

It was great to see such a diverse field out on course, with a mix of seasoned rogainers, families, and people trying rogaining for the first time.

With so many route choices available, there were plenty of decisions to make throughout the event. Do you cross the river or stay on one side? Take on a big loop or focus on a smaller area? Use the trains to cover more ground or rely on your own two feet?

We hope you enjoyed exploring the course and the BBQ afterwards.

Thank you for being part of the event, and we look forward to seeing you at another rogaine soon!

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the 6-hour Rockin' the River Metrogaine! With a large course, plenty of route options and the added challenge of deciding whether to use public transport, planning your day was no small feat. It was wonderful to see teams come home with stories to tell, from strategic train rides to unexpected discoveries and adventures along the way. We hope you enjoyed exploring riverside Brisbane from a rogaining perspective. Thanks for being part of the event!

Two views from the start of the 6 hour Rockin’ the River Metrogaine. Were competitors a little more sedate than at the start of the 3 hour event?

Congratulations to Penny and Kim, who came first in the 6-hour Rockin’ the River QRA Metrogaine on the weekend. Making full use of the public transport allowed in this event, they combined ferry and train trips to complete a nearly 50 km loop through Brisbane’s western riverside suburbs. Their carefully crafted route took in some scenic locations while maximising valuable bonus points from the puzzle questions.

Congratulations also to Amanda and Bevan, who claimed first place in the 3-hour event. Their 28 km loop started at Rocks Riverside Park and took them out to Jindalee and across the Centenary and Indooroopilly bridges. Making clever use of two train rides through Graceville and Corinda, they were able to extend their reach across the course, picking up extra checkpoints before heading back to the finish.
