W E. D I D. I T.

On Saturday the 14th of August, we completed the TC Ultra. The route followed a gruelling stretch of trail that ran from Cape Jervis to the Bluff. Sporting brilliant sunshine and spectacular views, the trail had us in awe at the beauty and goodness of God. We ran 72kms, with 2.5kms of elevation in 12.5 hours. 

We are so thankful to everyone who came and supported us and for all of you who donated to the run. What an incredible privilege to be able to do this for God's glory and to raise funds for Teen Challenge. Also a huge thank you to our support crew and pacers, we could not have done this without you...literally. 

For those of you who would like to see the run breakdown, here is our strava link. Just a morning run... https://www.strava.com/activities/5790723467?fbclid=IwAR3Rmtob9S7QB4IohPZh7BdPsehmV3gcDfK9pGLkNh3Nlo6ZFCyyE0xoUtE

Stay tuned for some unreal footage and photos of the day.

Goodness gracious me... after bad weather, lockdowns, and reschedules we are finally just one week out from the run! We will be beginning the run at 6am August 14 from Cape Jervis. We hope to get to the bluff before 5pm. We think it is achievable provided we get our nutrition right and injuries don't come into play. We seriously need your prayers for this! It's a bit of a mission. Thank you so much everybody for your support - it means the world. Bless you.

We are two weeks out from the biggy! We had a great long run on Saturday to test out nutrition for the final time. Here's our strava link. We are ready to do this thing.

3 weeks to go!

This past weekend we camped out at Deep Creek and checked out a section of the 70km trail we will be running on for our ultra marathon at the end of July! A beautiful but technical 18km from Blow Hole Beach to Tapanappa!

Yurrebilla Marathon

A month out from the big run, it was time to test out our bodies and nutrition. This 43KM trail run taught us a lot about running long distances with elevation gain, pacing yourself, and having the right nutrition. Challenging as, but we got it done! It has put the fear of the 70 into us which we think is a good thing. Thank you so much to all our sponsors. So amazed by you all. 

40km Long Run

A couple of the boys from the team went out and did a 40km long run in preparation for the 70km, testing out nutrition and gauging where their bodies are at in the training. They completed 40.6kms comfortably in 4hrs 55minutes. We are increasingly confident that we can chase down the 70km! The stoke is real in this photo. 

Thank you so much for supporting the ministry at Teen Challenge. Please pray for us as we train that we would remain injury free and be able to complete the run for God's glory! 

The TC Ultra

We are taking part in the 100&1 Club, a Teen Challenge initiative raising money to help people overcome addiction.

We are going to run our first ever ultra. Some of us haven't even run a marathon before, but we are training hard and are committed. We are going to run 70km from Cape Jervis to the Bluff in one day. The run takes place on one of the most gorgeous coastal stretches of the Heysen Trail, but this stretch is also rugged and technical. Welcome to the TC Ultra.

We are hoping to raise $100 for every kilometre we run. That's $7'000 for Teen Challenge - an organisation and group of people we have grown to love dearly.

Join us in taking on this challenge and help make a positive impact on people's lives.

Thank you to our Sponsors
