X-Marathon Lives Up To The Hype
Every year I like to fit an interstate race into the calendar. In the past, this has generally been Max24, but with the Adventure Junkies organising a 24hr race during what is otherwise a relatively quiet time on the racing calendar, X-Marathon was to be it in 2013.

Darkside Report
It’s going to take a while for me to fully digest my experience from the 2013 Darkside race. In the end we ran a close 4th place in the mixed (5th overall) being beaten out by Infinite and Tiger Adventure by 2 and 5 minutes respectively after over 12 hours of racing. Ultimately the result […]
