It’s official, coasttokosci 2026 🙌
I am incredibly humbled and grateful to share that I have been selected as one of just 60 runners to take on the Coast to Kosci Ultramarathon this November.
For those who don’t know, Coast to Kosci is a legendary 240km journey that starts at the beach in Eden, winds through brutal, beautiful terrain, and finishes at the highest point in Australia—the summit of Mount Kosciuszko.
It is as much a test of the human spirit as it is a physical race.
Having stood at that start line and made it to the summit in both 2022 and 2025, you might think you know what to expect. But the truth is, this race changes you every single time. It strips you down to your absolute core, demands everything from your crew, and forces you to find strength you didn’t know you had.
Coming back for a third time isn`t about ticking a box. It’s about returning to a place that holds a piece of my soul. The raw emotion of this course, the unbreakable bonds built with my crew in the dark hours of the night, and the sheer magic of the Aussie alpine region keep calling me back.
To be given the opportunity to share the road with 59 other incredible athletes is a privilege I don`t take lightly.
The training block starts now. Time to get to work 💪🏃♂️

240 km. Sea level to 2,228 metres. Twofold Bay to the highest ground in Australia.
Coast to Kosci coasttokosci started in 2004 with four runners, no sanction and no fanfare. Three of them finished. It’s still organised by runners for runners, still invitational, still capped at around 60 starters, and still built on three words: community, humility, resilience.
The course leaves the sand near Eden and climbs 5,482 metres through every climate zone the continent has, over the summit of Mt Kosciuszko and down to Charlotte Pass. Runners have 46 hours.
Mount to Coast is the official footwear partner of Coast to Kosci 2026. Ocean to summit, 46 hours, feet swelling through a second night – that’s what TUNEDFIT dual lacing was built for, and it’s the distance we build for.
Congratulations to the runners named for November. See you on the beach in Eden.

Out early for a Friday Long… thanks for recap of the run Strava…
Steady pace on the flat but slowed on the uphill and then picked up the pace again on the downhill. Textbook Trail running 👍🤦♂️
Thanks for the analysis 😳 I wish I could hold the same pace on the flat to uphill

Some like to rise with the sun others like see to it set …..
It’s never easier no matter when you do it, you get better doing it but that never makes it easier…
What’s easy is to not get sally up and or turn sally down. Your choices and actions each day will lead to consistency, but it’s your control to what part is consistent… is it to push things aside or let other things get in the way or taking control and you choosing what more important long term and or taking the time for you to then be better in all aspect of your life… them your thriving all around you is thriving….
Developing good habits, consistent action leads to the motivation, doesn’t come easy…. Motivation doesn’t happen before l… it’s after the actions
Stay hard
