Sydney Oxfam Trailwalker 100km

I was alerted to the fact at my gym this morning that the Oxfam 100km Trailwalker walk/run is on this weekend in Sydney. The event has grown substantially over the past years with teams of 4 runners or walkers making their way (as a team) from the Hawkesbury to the Harbour.

The team work ideal is reinforced as the rules state that teams can’t be spread out and have to finish each leg together.

A fantastic day out for most people as they battle through the bush to the finish line all in aide of raising money for the very worthy charity of Oxfam.

I have followed with interest many of the teams who I have seen out and about walking and running together over the past few months. For many this will be the toughest thing they will ever have had to do in their lives, but they will have the support of their teammates to share the moment with.

Good luck to all those taking part. An amazing achievement and may you return again to the arena of endurance sport.




Have a look at the Trailwalker link for more information about the event. They are also still looking for volunteers to assist at aide stations and you can still donate to the various teams online.

Keep running in the bush or road. Stride for stride on a life changing ride. – Sean Muller
