News and Press Releases

According to some folks (me included), my home town of Durban, South Africa, has the best climate in the world. We really only have two seasons: half the year is hot with some rain; the other half is hot, with less rain.

I was completely thrilled to be asked to be an ambassador for Maverick, as initially, I didn’t quite make the cut.

Having enjoyed a successful year in 2016, Maverick Race has now joined forces with trail running powerhouse brand inov-8 for the upcoming 2017 season.

2016 was always going to a big year for running, as someone who only does marathons in even years (London 2012 and Melbourne 2014), it was time to get the marathon training going again.

Throughout one of the most bizarre years I've known, running it seems has pretty much been my only constant.

In January I took my christmassy lardy bum to Trailscape to run my first half marathon of the year. I had a sore ankle and a hangover.

Cyclists will have the chance to ride one of the country’s most iconic racing circuits in a brand new cycling event, backed by former England rugby captain, Lawrence Dallaglio OBE.

With a 7 week break in our busy event schedule, it seemed like a good idea to escape the trail of the UK and head out to Chamonix.
