Beyond the Road
Every athlete carries a story—shaped by the highs and lows, the struggles and triumphs—that makes them uniquely valued and deeply loved. These journeys don’t just define who they are today; they have the power to inspire others along the way.
This space exists to honour the spirit of the athlete and celebrate all that lies beyond the road — the purpose, passion, and resilience that keep us running.

Sota Maehara
Meet Sota, and this is his story at the Narrabeen track meet hosted by @sydneyathleticsacademy. It was the first post-lockdown opportunity for everyone to race again. Some great performances but I am sure to many, it means a lot more than just a good result.

Rewriting the Ultramarathon Manual
"This was an ultra unlike any other. No conservatism, no caution. Redline it from my first step to my last - be ready to suffer and hope I don't come up short. It's incredible how far we can push ourselves when we let go of fear."
