As the eyes of the adventure racing world are turned towards New Zealand for the tenth anniversary of GODZone, Australia is quietly gearing up to kick off the racing season with the second edition of Explore Gippsland this weekend. As the first race in the national adventure racing series, Adventure 1 has again done what […]
An Insight Into World Obstacle and Adventure 1
With the recent announcement that World Obstacle (the working name of FISO – the Fédération Internationale de Sports d’Obstacles) sanctions Adventure 1 as the official world cup for the sport of adventure racing, I’ve fielded a number of questions about what this all means for AR. Adventure racing has had a successful world series of […]
2021 Year in Review
In the blink of an eye, we’ve reached the end of 2021. It’s interesting to have a read over the wrap up from the 2020 racing season where we were looking ahead to our plans for this year. Team Rogue entered 2021 with an air of optimism after having the bulk of 2020 written off […]
XPD Rivers of Gold
In an attempt to keep things a little bit more low-key with my own racing and just enjoy the process itself, I hadn’t intended to write a race report from XPD. But I’ve just got to accept that I’m an AR tragic and with an amazing set of photographs from event photographers Margarete and Murilo […]
Exploring Gippsland The Hard Way
This is a long report. For those with short attention spans, check out the race video: Two weeks out from the Explore Gippsland start line, it was looking very sketchy on whether team Rogue were even going to be able to field a full team at the race. With Brisbane sent into a three day […]
2020 Racing Wrap (and 2021 Sneak Peek)
There were times this year I didn’t think I would even really have an opportunity to write a yearly race wrap up. Looking back to the start of 2020, we had lofty goals of a big race calendar planned with some fantastic events lined up. I recall being pretty excited because it was a super […]
Giraween Rogaine Report
It’s not often that I get down to writing a race report for a foot rogaine, the last ones being the Diaper Creek Rogaine and 24 Hour Rogaine champs way back in 2014. A big part of the reason for this is that’s been almost 2.5 years since I’ve done a pure bush foot rogaine! […]
Racing Ahead with 2020
With 2019 done and dusted and a fantastic year of adventure racing results under the belt, the Rogue team have set their calendar with all eyes on a bumper year of racing in 2020. Australian adventure racers are certainly spoiled for choice this year, with 11 adventure races that are 24 hours or longer spread […]
A look back at 2019
Looking back over the 2019 racing season, it’s been a real mixed bag of results for myself and team Rogue. I know we are only just now reaching the end of October, but given that I’ve effectively run my last race for the year, I thought it would be nice to get in early with […]
Back-to-Back Wins at Wildside
As one of only a couple of teams to race every event in the Mountain Designs Adventure1 series this year, it had already been a big season for team Rogue. However, with how the points system was shaping up, there was still plenty to race for at the Wildside 36 hour race: while the Alpine […]
