This next project was the idea of  Dr Molly Molly.

We’ve had a few Run events on the fridge door and the Run Larapinta has been on longer than most. Partly because it’s a nice picture. Molly, who never enjoyed running, decided that this was the year to up her game from the comfortable ‘every-now-and -then untrained half marathon’ to the 4 day, multi-stage, sleep in a tent, run in the heat of the day, run event. Then she signed me up- obviously I didn’t want to miss out. With that in mind we will cover both the short and the long course between us culminating in a shared 217 km (approximately) from start line to finish feet up.

Follow our journey and feel free to donate the cost of a coffee or a dollar or two to the Starlight Foundation, the teams are doing terrific work for children and their families.

It really feels good to give and we will match the first 5 donations!

Training has started and we start exploring new trails to prepare us for the different terrain and elevation that will be served up.
