240km. 42 hours. Coast to Kosci.

Hutchies’ own Jackson “Jacko” Munn just made history – the youngest person to compete in and complete the gruelling Coast to Kosciuszko Ultra Marathon – one of Australia’s toughest endurance races.

And next year, you bet he’s coming for the win.

From Eden NSW to the summit of Mt Kosciuszko, Jacko’s grit shows what we’re made of.

C2K 2025
..
It wasn’t the race that mtnbeard had planned and trained for but in life if everything went right all the time then we wouldn’t learn and grow. He had a great lead up, taking out the win at Ultra Adelaide 100 miler, a solid training block, second place at Lonely Mountain Ultra 50 miler… but what you didn’t see was the stress of work, of buying our first home, moving house, wrapping up an 8 year rental lease, being on the organising committee of BRuTUS and just general life commitments. Then he got sick 4 weeks out from C2K and I saw the toil it took on him. The race he loves so much was rapidly falling from his grasp. But he’s a determined, stubborn thing and he was going to be at that beach no matter what because it was an honour to be included in the starters list. He pulled in a completely new crew full of pinkos and set the expectations early, it could be a great race, it could be a long one or ultimately a short one. Either way, he wanted us to have fun and enjoy the community that C2K brings each and every year. He would push himself so WE could enjoy the festivities and that’s exactly what he did. In the end we made the hard decision as a crew to pull him from the race at 120kms, exactly half way. We didn’t come away with another pin for the akubra but we came away knowing that our health is key to the longevity in this sport and whilst we were sad to finish the 2025 journey early we know we’ll be back again to support him to try for that third pin. It also meant we were able to cheer all the other runners on their own journey and see pamustrun get her 10th pin!! I’m not really sure what the overall point of this post is, only to say that although we’ve been through a lot of stressors this year, I’m truly proud of your achievements mtnbeard . You’re getting stronger, wiser, and faster and I hope you can be as proud of yourself as I am of you and that we were as your crew. Bring on C2K2026, hey? 😉

More than any other event that I’ve experienced, coasttokosci is a team effort. Whether that’s a small family crew like I had last year, or a bigger crew full of good mates, it’s a journey that involves everyone from start to finish.

Having those people with you is part of what makes this so special and so much more than just an epic long run.

There are highs and lows, but everyone has the same goal of reaching that finish line. Not only that, but along the way cheering on and supporting all the other runners and crews out there on their own adventure.

Coast 2 Kosci | Pacer | support crew

Have to say what a time that was starting from Eden coastline supporting Toby Smithson running 240km to Kosciusko summit in 32hrs 15min taking out 8th place overall.

I had the opportunity to pace Toby throughout the night shift from 10.30pm till 4 am starting from just outside of Dalgety through Jindy in the early hours of the morning towards Perisher where I swapped out with Rach until we reached the summit and we all joined in together to get Toby across the finish line.

Massive shoutout to pamustrun in linking Toby & I up together and Pam completing her 10th C2K.

Epic experience, Great community, Incredible scenic run.

Till next year!!
Fingers crossed 🤞

Of the three years I had been along, running or crew, I finally got to experience the unofficial after party.
.
Before everyone goes back to their normal lives, we get to share stories, laugh at hallucinations, say our goodbyes until the next time.

This race doesn`t end at the finish line 🤠

Back in 2020, I was asked to join team( morgan.lindqvist ) as a 2nd pacer and a last minute addition due to injury - little did I know we would become the winning team.

Before then, I knew little about C2K but would soon fall in love with this community coasttokosci and in the back of my mind - it’s something I’d love to do one day??

Over the weekend I had the privilege of toeing the line in one of Oz prestigious Ultra race “Coast to Kosciuszko 240km”. An epic start from the beautiful beaches of Eden all the way to the highest point in Australia, Mt Kosciusko.
The scenery was spectacular - changing from glorious sunrises and still water w/ alpine winds and full-blown hail with wind gust hitting 80km/h - not to mention the snow covers up top. Only the Snowies can throw four season at you in one day - which I’ve experienced in the past and this was no exception.

Having a great crew is absolutely essential for this type of race. I was lucky enough to have been able to assemble one from my local running community the the_440 :
lewisss89 -pacer
Dylan-pacer
Elden-crew chief
Julia-assis crew
Marie-assis crew

Being able to see them every 5km gave me the lift I needed. Those little moments of connection keep you going more than anyone realises. The team rallied and did what was needed to keep US moving forward - Everyone knew their part and stepped up when things got dark and pushed when needed. The last 40k was a BIG blur - fatigue, hallucinations & sleep walking. At times, I never thought I would see the end. Literally, RAIN, HAIL or SHINE But WE got it done!!! Honestly I can’t thank our brilliant team enough. Their unconditional support, lots of laughs, NO if NO buts attitude. Thank You!!!

Also a huge thank you to Greg and Mickey, the rest of the C2K team for another great race.

Still buzzing that I’m finally part of the Akubra Family.

What an epic journey.”

Started on the beach with the sun coming up… finished 240km later after living through two nights and two sunrises.
Coast to Kosci gave me everything—dehydration, hailstorms, thunderstorms, rain, and an icy summit in the dark that felt a world away from where I began.

There were moments I was emptied out, moments I questioned why I was still moving… but I kept going.
42 hours 53 minutes of highs, lows, and hanging on when it mattered.

This race doesn’t just test you—it shows you who you are when everything else is stripped away.
Grateful for every step.

None of this would have been possible if I wasn’t given the opportunity by coasttokosci I am super humbled to even toe the start line with this select group of humble individuals.

samharvey_cloudlander that kicked my ass into gear for 14 weeks leading into the event.

coasttomountainrunning for keeping me fuelled and hydrated throughout the event.

My support crew who not only gave up 4 days of there life but stayed awake to most of it braving the cold, the wet and the windy end. romanwatson blue.collarathlete

Most of all none of this would have been a success without my best friend my crew chief and my wife keishatomkins you made sure that I had everything I needed when I needed it and reminded me at the end when the wind was howling and my knees where buckling that this is what I wanted to feel. ❤️

And just like that, somehow Coast to Kosci 2025 is over.

This year brought sunshine, tailwinds, hail, lightning, thunder, headwinds, snow, glorious sunrises, epic sunsets, and most importantly it brought together a group of amazing people. Running 240km is no mean feat, and we are so proud of each and every person who lined up on the beach to start the journey from Eden to Kosciuszko. There was so much joy, humility, laughter, and community spirit out there on the course and that is what Coast to Kosci is all about.

This year saw Pam Muston complete her 10th Coast to Kosci, and our youngest ever male and female runners, Jackson Munn and Maia Nagy, both finish strong. We handed out many new Akubras this year but also saw some very experienced runners have to make tough calls that meant they weren’t able to finish the race.

The weather, Australian countryside, and the Snowy Mountains are tough and unforgiving, but are so beautiful and so breathtaking. It’s one of the many reasons C2K is a race unlike any other.

We hope each and every one of you who was involved in C2K 2025 enjoyed everything it had to offer. You’re all a part of the Coast to Kosci family. ❤️

coasttokosci 2025.
.
In 2022, I was last running here as 1 of 50 selected athletes. Since then, I have had melanoma removed and embraced this opportunity to fundraise for the australianskincancerfoundation however confirmation of more melanoma being found was told to me the day before Coast to Kosci 2025. That and a close neighbour passed away the same day.
.
Coast to Kosci tests your mental and physical capabilities, it`s hard enough being selected let alone completing the 240km distance.
.
It was tough, a toe was giving me grief early on and made every step painful. But, for the crew and supporters I have, it seemed miniscule.
.
The dot watchers with live tracking would have seen me drop places, but the crew stepped up and power hiked to push me along.
.
Rain, gail force winds, hail storm, lightning snow and a patch of sunshine, there was no variation of weather we missed.
.
More to follow in a race report, but for now I want to thank everyone that donated and shared my story for fundraising, my crew for giving up so much and helping my on this kick ass race, and everyone that reached out with kindness and encouragement. I am so proud to have you in my life ❤️
.
17th place out of 68 starters ain`t bad.

The goodest of weekends with raddest of people🥰 There is no speil I can write that would do it justice #coasttokosci ...

Sadly we made the decision to withdraw from the 2025 Coast to Kosci at about 122km. Without going into too much detail I’ve been sick for a few weeks and started having trouble with breathing, coughing and nausea as night fell. We had a discussion as a team and decided that this is not the right time to push through. Long term health is always the priority.

It’s disappointing to not finish, but it was the right decision and I’m incredibly grateful to have had an awesome first day, taking it all in and enjoying the time sharing miles with other runners and having fun with all the crews.

A massive thanks to my crew, who worked tirelessly to keep me fed, watered, and motivated and were nothing but supportive and energetic for the entire journey. This type of event can’t happen without a good crew, and any time I see them it’s a huge boost.

I generally thrive on mountain trail runs which makes C2K a little different for me. What keeps bringing me back is that this isn’t just a run or a race to me. It’s about the journey from the water to the highest point completely under your own power, and sharing that journey with a bunch of good people on your crew and the entire C2K family. It’s about running into Towamba and seeing the ocean of people there enjoying the breakfast that raises funds for the small local school. It’s about chatting to the person running next to you and learning about the reasons that they are doing this, and the things that motivate them. It’s running through varying, vast and beautiful country. It’s mooing at the talkative cows as you run past. It’s about having a team to support you through tough decisions, and then enjoying soup from the wonderful volunteers at Dalgety Hall (while one of the crew is outside dressed as a unicorn). It’s cheering on people at checkpoints, and standing at Charlotte Pass seeing some epic achievements. It’s chatting to people at breakfast the next day, then watching the presentations.

A huge congratulations to everyone in the 2025 Coast to Kosci!

This was meant to be a short post, yet here we are. It’s time for rest and to get back to 100% health, then see what next year brings!
