When Spartan Race Australia announced that it would be holding an Asia Pacific (APAC) Championship race in Perth at the end of 2017 I knew that it would be a race not to miss. Spartan has only ever had three events in Perth – a Super/Sprint combo in 2013 and a Sprint in 2015. They … Continue reading Spartan Trifecta Weekend – Perth
What do you get when you combine camping, trail running, and awesome people? The Ragnar Trail Relay! I’ve had friends talk about Ragnar for years, but I’ve never been in the right US state at the right time to enter, until now.

The Spartan weekend was falling the day before Halloween so it provided me with the perfect opportunity to dress up … Continue reading Spartan Beast/Sprint Weekend (Dallas)
If there’s one event that most OCR fanatics aim to compete at it’s the OCR World Championships (OCRWC). I had the opportunity to compete in the Pro wave at the 2015 OCRWC and it was an experience I’ll never forget. So when it came to the 2016 OCRWC I knew I had to return.
