ACHIEVEMENTS & PLANS

Plans

Jan 2020 The Revenant (Southland) – an unsupported individual Ultra Adventure Run. More than 190km & 16,000m-ish of vertical ascent, if you navigate the unmarked course perfectly! 4 laps of an unmarked course total allowable time of 60 hours and the first cut off is enforced after the completion of lap 2 which must be completed by 30 hours.

Mar 2020 Riverhead Rampage 21.7km Trail Event (Auckland)

Apr 2020 Riverhead Backyard ReLaps Ultra (Auckland) – Complete one 6.7km lap within an hour, restart again on the hour….continue…until only one person is left to complete a lap. The winner of this gets a Golden Ticket entry in the “world champs” of this last person standing format event in Tennessee, USA. I was 3rd last year having to pull out at 27 laps (it was won in 29 laps) with a partial tear in my achilles, but was feeling great prior to that and the aim then and for 2020 is more than 40 laps.

July 2020 WUU2K 62km Ultra Marathon (Welington) – The WUU2K (pronounced ‘Woo-Too-Kay’) or ‘Wellington Urban Ultra 2K’, is a 62km Ultra-Marathon trail-running endurance event around the hills that surround the capital city of New Zealand. Oh, and the ‘2k’ stands for the elevation over the 43km race, which is closer to 3k for the 62km

Aug 2020 Le Ultra – High (India) – 132 hours and 555 Km in length, La Ultra – The High takes you over 5 x 5,334m+ high mountain passes of Ladakh a massive cold desert, part of The Great Himalayan mountain range in India. Temperatures here in August can fluctuate from 40 Degree C hot to MINUS 12 C cold in matter of 6 hours.

Sept 2020 – Blue Lake 24 hour Challenge (Rotorua) – A self supported 24hr run around the Blue Lake in Rotorua. How many laps can you do?!

Oct 2020 Big’s Backyard Ultra (Tennessee, USA) – Complete one 6.7km lap within an hour, restart again on the hour….continue…until only one person is left to complete a lap. Get a Golden ticket when I win the NZ version in April.

Nov 2020 Godzone Adventure Race (Rotorua) – GZ Pure is the ultimate expedition adventure racing experience with unsupported teams (4 people) travelling approximately 600km across New Zealand’s wilderness for up to 8 and a half days. GZ Pure represents the most technically challenging adventure race in the world and teams should prepare accordingly.
