Welcome to Episode 45 of Peak Pursuits, your ultimate podcast for everything trail running in Australia. This week’s episode is a big one as hosts Sim Brick, Jess Jason and Vlad Ixel recap all things Tarawera! We had some huge performances from runners in the Aussie community and it was a bad year to be a course record! Also listen in as the team discuss the evolution of trail and where we currently stand as trail runners all over the globe post incredible fast half marathon times and we watch records go down every weekend.
