The crisp cold air heralded the return to the 2021 Ultra Trail Australian landscape as runners from near and far gathered nervously on the start line. No longer a race to the start as is sometimes the case, many needed to plan a little 'extra time' for the mandatory COVID-19 check in's and parking, and [...]

Back in July 2020, in the midst of COVID unpredictability and with zero goals on the horizon, I decided I needed to pick something to work towards. While I’ve always been a runner on and off since I was 11yrs old, I’d recently gotten back into running consistently after a few years in the gym [...]

Preamble: I will be running my second 50 this year. I am a back of pack runner and I run for enlightenment, mostly. I have not really shared my story in full. Today seemed to be the best time to remind myself why I run! My first ultra story, UTA50 2018. It was an incredibly [...]

First, let me say this is a run you should put on your wish-list. It was so much fun! Starting at dusk, & running into the night, and the theme is 80's flu\ro dress-up. The brighter & crazier the better! It is held along the Surf Coast trail in Victoria,  and offers a 21km, 15km, [...]

On Saturday the 19th August I was all set for my 4th ever "race", however I had succumbed to the dreaded virus that's been going around for the whole week leading up. Saturday morning came and I hadn't run all week. Convinced I had enough energy I lined up with coaching teammates and some beautiful [...]

UTA22 – where do I start? This was our first ever trail race. We all felt nervous and a little under trained, but were willing to give it our best. My lead up that week hadn't been great – I was on antibiotics for tonsillitis and had a terrible cough. The diff on my car [...]

I love trail running. I used to be a road runner before I transferred over to the dark side, and I must say I love it much better over here. There is something about a trail that makes me feel at peace. I think the art of running a marathon on a trail is so [...]
