Loved reading this Brent. What an epic! What i love about trail running is no race is ever the same even if you've done a similar distance or terrain. Congratulation's on digging in and finishing. I've just added the Archie to my race bucket list.

A great read on an absolutely stunning event. Nic and I did this last year after friends had a crack at it in 2021 and their stories and images were so beautiful we couldn’t resist. It was also my 50th birthday - so the challenge was 50 on my 50th (and I agree it just happens to be one of the hardest 50’s you’ll do). I think we are similar athletes given we had close finishing times, so I feel we got to know that climb out of the valley better than most 😂. Great work on the podcasts and hopefully we get to say gday to you sometime soon around Canberra! Great work Brent!

Nice Read Brent bro... your writing taken me into this race. You had very good experience in the steep elevation, tough down hill and multiple river crossings.. Really it should be cherishable memories & experience for you. You are really one of my inspiring person.

The Marchies are on the juice this year. They’re about an inch long around home.
