Some people buy motorbikes.

Some get hair transplants.

We… signed up for a 100-mile ultra marathon.

This November, we’ll be running, walking, crawling, and probably crying our way through the Grampians National Park in western Victoria, taking on the GPT 100 Stage Race: 160km over four brutal days.

After running a few marathons between us, we thought, “How much harder can it be?”

Turns out the answer is: much, much harder.

Over the past few months, our weekends have been consumed by mountain trails, sweat soaked running vests, sickly-sweet energy gels, and an alarming number of dad jokes. Our social lives have vanished, our knees are negotiating union rights, and our girlfriends have stopped pretending to understand us.

So, if we’re going to suffer this much, we decided we might as well make it count.

We’re turning our questionable life choices into something positive, raising money for The Dundee Dragons Wheelchair Sports Club, a charity providing adaptive cycling and indoor sporting opportunities for the Tayside community.

We’ve seen first-hand the incredible impact the Dundee Dragons have on individuals and families, and we’re proud to support their mission to make sport accessible for all.

If you’ve ever questioned our sanity, now’s your chance to support a great cause, and be proven right.

Every dollar helps justify this mid-life crisis and, more importantly, helps the Dundee Dragons continue their fantastic work.
