My Story…
Can I go from not being able to walk to running an ultra trail marathon in 9 weeks?
Right now, my foot looks more like an eggplant than a foot. Last weekend, I ruptured my CFL and ATFL ligaments and am unable to walk unaided. But in just under 9 weeks, I plan to run the Six Foot Track Marathon, a 45km ultra trail race with over 1.5km of vertical ascent.
The Six Foot Track is normally a 3-day camping trip. I’ve walked it a couple of times, but running it has been something of a dream of mine since I started running two years ago. Instead of 3 days, I was hoping to finish it in under 5.5 hours.
More than just ticking an item off my bucket list, I’m also looking to raise funds for RFS Blue Mountains. They do incredible work keeping the communities around the Blue Mountains safe. To make your donation count even more, I’ll personally match the first $1,000 donated.
So your contribution will:
• Help the RFS
• Help send me broke
• Fuel my determination to go from not being able to walk to running an ultra trail marathon in under 9 weeks
