Welcome to the 2025 virtual 4-hour rogaine “Parkes and Parks”. This year’s event area includes the parliamentary suburb of Parkes, along with the many parks in the leafy suburbs of Barton, Forrest, Griffith, Red Hill, Hughes, Deakin and Yarralumla. Expect big views, famous landmarks and abundant nature, along with some lesser-known places and quirky artworks.

The start location is at Deakin shops. This is shown as a triangle near the centre of the map. There is ample free parking in Hannah Place.

It’s a virtual event, which means that you can take part at any time between Saturday 24 May and Monday 10 June 2025, and the course uses the MapRun app on your phone or watch to record your visits to control sites; there are no control flags.

You can compete individually or as a team.
