As a trail runner, we’re always looking for that next adventure. Something that grabs our attention…something that stops us in our tracks.
Or perhaps something that requires us to extend ourselves as an athlete and maybe just as a person…something that frightens us just a little.
When I first heard whisperings of a new event curated by Malcolm Law (the original creator of the now over 30,000 strong Wild Things NZ trail running community) in conjunction with Ian Evans (one of only six athletes to ever complete the now well-known Revenant) and James Harcombe (an all-round legend), I knew this was one I needed to be a part of.
I first met Malcolm when I was fresh faced and new to Wanaka in NZ. At the time, I was a road runner (yes, unfortunately) and had never really climbed mountains, but had a taste of my first 100km trail ultra and I wanted more. I turned up in my very first week to Wanaka
