Diverge is a brand new event on the Tassie race calendar and I couldn’t resist getting amongst it for the first iteration. I jumped in deep signing up for the 50k with little knowledge of what I was in for. I’d never ran any of the trails and went in completely blind. I had been … Read more
Buffalo Stampede was epic! Ziggy and I headed over and jumped in the deep end, both taking on the Ultra Grand Slam. It was a challenging three days of running. I somehow walked away with the win and Ziggy somehow finished after an epic battle. I’ve done a vlog of the weekend which you can … Read more
I executed one of my best ever races at Gone Nuts. I went in with minimal pressure and it worked in my favour, somehow securing me the win! My goal was to test myself over the 100km distance in preparation for Buffalo Ultra Grand Slam. To test my fitness, pacing, nutrition, hydration and gear. I … Read more
My introduction to Rogaining this past weekend was anything but gradual. I dove straight into the deep end with a 24-hour event. It certainly felt like a trial by ice (more so than fire!), but the experience was incredibly rewarding. Initially, it was planned as a trio with Ziggy, George, and myself, looking for a … Read more

Ziggy debated an audacious starting strategy then we met Caleb Olson and asked to stroke his cooling shirt. Although we all knew … Read more
The kunanyi Trail Series put on four trail running events each year on the mountain or in the foothills. They swap out races from the growing catalogue or sometimes we get a new route. Last weekend we got lucky with a brand new course called Rialannah. This one is starting to stray into the foothills, … Read more
The Tolosa Half holds a special place in my heart. It was my first-ever running race back in 2019 and the experience that got me hooked on trail running. I’ve returned many times since. It’s one of the fastest and most runnable trail races on the mountain, and my fourth time running it this past … Read more
The kunanyi Trail Series consists of four events set on the epic trails of kunanyi / Mount Wellington. Each year, the courses are mixed up to keep things fresh, with the Tolosa Half remaining the only consistent fixture thanks to its popularity. This year’s series kicked off over the weekend with the Organ Pipes Classic … Read more
Yesterday, I tackled the inaugural kunanyi (kMR) Alpine Marathon, the first race in ages that truly fired me up with excitement. The course took us over the back of kunanyi into wild alpine terrain in proper mountain conditions. Since it was the event’s first year, pacing was a mystery, I aimed for a 5:00–5:30 finish … Read more
