Molloy Agriculture Adventure Race

2nd March 2025

Supporting the Methven Community Pool Committee 

Welcome to the Molloy Agriculture Adventure Race! Join us for a day of excitement and exploration at Mount Alford Station, with the event centre at Pudding Hill Lodge. While this first edition of the event is a foot rogaine, we plan to bring you a full adventure race in future years once the event has been established. 

The Molloy Agriculture Adventure Race is a fundraising event for the Methven Community Pool Committee which is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Methven Community Pool. This non-profit organisation allows local kids to learn to swim, as well as offering a place for members of the community to enjoy being in and around the water. They also host a variety of events throughout the year. Crazy Kea Events is proud to be supporting their new fundraising venture!

Event Description

There are 3 and 6 Hour foot rogaine options available, each covering a range of terrain and navigational difficulty. The times listed for each event are the course closure times for each event (i.e the maximum time a team can spend out on the course). Teams that finish after the course closure time will be penalised a number of points per minute that they are late.

Your team can cover as little or as much distance as you'd like, if you don't want to be out for the whole time you can also return to the event centre before the time limit is up. Rogaining allows you to choose your own adventure!

Special thanks to the Methven Lions Club and Land Search and Rescue (LandSAR) Methven for their volunteers and ongoing support.
