Despite having spent close to a decade organising rogaine format adventure racers, opportunities to race them myself have been few and far between.  In fact, the recent Mojo Raid represents only my second time as a competitor, the first being the Mojo event last year.  Taking on a leadership role in the Raid Adventures series […]

Past Rogue Adventure team mate Justin Whitley joined myself and a motley crew of other Brioche trail runners from Brisbane for an assault on the UTA100 course.  Below is his race report from his unique view towards the front of the field, finishing an incredible 16th place in a field of over 1300 runners in […]

Just a quick update back from GeoQuest.  If there were any doubts that this race is the premier AR on the Australian calendar, they were resoundingly quashed with the 2016 event.  Geocentric Outdoors have their event organisation dialed to a tee.  Two sets of maps, new control flags that reflected in the dark, a genuine […]

Despite regularly run training for years, I still don’t think of myself as a runner, but just something I do as a by-product of rogaining and adventure racing.  I’ve tried my hand at a few trail running races up to 50km in length in the past (never a road race though) and sit comfortably in […]

If I had to sum up my experience at Expedition Alaska in a single word, it would be Raw.  Alaska is certainly a spectacular canvas for an adventure race with a vast expanse of trackless mountains, roaring rivers and wilderness terrain, all waiting to be explored.  All the pre-race information released by the event organizers […]

GeoQuest is my favourite weekend of racing every year.  With the Expedition Alaska start line just around the corner, a lot of my energy has been put towards preparing the gear and travel for this race, and I didn’t have much time to focus on GeoQuest.  I knew I didn’t want to miss the race […]

A classic Brisbane summer storm sweeping through the CBD last Friday evening wasn’t enough to deter over 150 competitors from taking on the Urban Rogue.  A 3hr metrogaine under the Friday night city lights, the Urban Rogue represents the last chance for rogainers to test their navigation and legs on the 2014 calendar.  It was […]

I had a recent request from the organisers of the Diaper Creek rogaine to pull a race report together.  Given the quality of the area and course setting, along with the great event we had, the task certainly isn’t a chore. In fact, the only disappointment for the whole weekend was that I felt there […]
