MAJOR NATIONAL SPONSOR — MYNT ENERGY TECH

Four start lines this December. One of them sits in Karratha, out in the Pilbara, where the nearest anything is a long way away.

Which is roughly where our newest major national sponsor does its day job.

Mynt Energy Tech are an Australian owned power generation outfit working across Australia and New Zealand. Generators, battery hybrids, solar and hydrogen, mostly for mining and construction companies trying to get their diesel burn down. Short version: they keep the lights on in the places the grid never reached.

Them coming on board at major national level is what keeps entry free for every single person at all four locations, veteran or not. It also means the money the public puts in goes straight where it was always meant to. Last year that was $27,000 raised, ten veterans placed into Survive To Thrive Nation, and over $11,000 to the Zero79 Foundation.

Have fun, stay safe. Take the job seriously, never take yourself too seriously, and make sure every single person gets home. That is how Mynt run a site and it is how we run a start line.

Cheers,

LEGACY PARTNERS
2.performance . . Total Advocacy Consultants. Intraface. Stone.

Proud partners and friends of the Weight of War. They backed this thing when it was one bloke in a weight vest taking the p**s out of himself to raise a few dollars and shine a light on a heavy issue.

Still standing with us. Still on the wall.

Right. The b**r question. We put a whole section in the nutrition guide about it, because pretending it isn't part of this would be dishonest.

Here's what the research actually says, minus the lecture:

🍺 A big night after training gets in the way of rehydration, refuelling, sleep and repair. In one study, around 12 standard drinks after training cut muscle protein synthesis by 24% even when protein was eaten too — and 37% without it.
🍺 You did the hard work. Don't drink the payoff away.
🍺 If you're having one: rehydrate and eat a proper meal first, alternate with water, and count them.

The national guideline for healthy adults is no more than 10 standard drinks a week and no more than 4 on any one day. Less is lower risk.

Are we telling you not to have a b**r at basecamp on 5 December? Absolutely not! We'll be buying them. We're telling you to have it after the water, the food and the sit-down — in which case it's earned, and it's the best one you'll have all year.

And the serious bit, because it's the reason any of this exists: if the drinking has stopped being a laugh, Open Arms is 1800 011 046, free and confidential, 24/7, for veterans and families. Nobody carries it alone. That's the whole point of the smugglers.

SUPPORTING NATIONAL SPONSOR — KSC LAW

KSC Law do expert legal support for DVA, CSC, TPD and insurance claims. If you have ever tried to lodge one on your own, you already know exactly why that matters.

Standing alongside them on the 2026 board:

Creditte, our bean counters, unapologetically committed to helping you build a better business. Nostalgix, because those memories are worth more than a box in the cupboard. The Grey Man Podcast. Real voices, raw truths. Arrow Risk Management, because nobody plans for the worst day until it lands on them.

Five businesses who did not have to put their name to a bunch of blokes and blokettes running 21km in a weight vest and a pair of budgy smugglers. They did it anyway.

Back the ones who back us.

This is 2021. One bloke, a weight vest, a pair of DTs, and a lie-down on the grass afterwards because there was nothing left.

No company. No board. No charity registration. No sponsors.
Just a bloke who'd had enough of hearing about mates who didn't make it and decided that doing something ridiculous in public was better than doing nothing quietly.

Six years later it's four cities, a registered company, and money going out the door into programmes that put veterans in front of actual help.

None of that came from a grant. All of it came from people chucking in.

So if this thing has ever made you laugh, or made you think about a mate you should ring — that's the ask. Chuck in what you can. If you can make it a monthly thing, even better: steady money lets us commit to spots before the run, not after.

MAJOR NATIONAL SPONSOR — ADVANCED DECONSTRUCTION

Every year someone asks how a free event across four cities actually pays for itself.

This is how.

Advanced Deconstruction are our major national sponsor for 2026. Front line environmental management, going since 2008, licensed for demolition Australia-wide. Asbestos, demolition, land remediation, hazardous decontamination. They are the mob who walk into the sites nobody else will touch and hand them back clean.

Their sponsorship does not buy a logo on a shirt. It covers the unglamorous spine of the whole thing. Safety. Compliance. Insurance. Logistics across Brisbane, Cronulla, Karratha and Canberra. That is what lets the money the public throws in go into veteran programmes instead of paperwork.

Pulling the dangerous stuff down so something better can stand on the site. We reckon that is a fair description of the job we are trying to do for our people.

Cheers, ADVANCED DECONSTRUCTION. The start lines exist because you backed them.

Dogs welcome. Kids welcome. Nans welcome. In-laws tolerated.

The 1k walk exists precisely so nobody gets left at home watching. No vest, no time, no one at the finish line checking your credentials.

And here's why that matters more than it sounds: half the value of this day for a veteran isn't the run. It's their family standing in a park watching a few hundred people turn up for something that's fundamentally about him. You can't buy that and you can't prescribe it.

Seven weeks out. Register the whole tribe, dog included. Link in bio.

It was great to get out to 8/9 RAR and jump up on their Rams Parade (boozer parade) and present (some of) the lads from Workshops with a framed photo of their amazing efforts last year.

Not only did all the gents come down kitted up, but they also raised $1,400+ that saw the placement of 1.4 veterans onto the STTN Survive to Thrive Nation program, totaling 10 veterans for 2025.

A massive thank you to Dave the RSM and Ash the ASM for allowing Josh to both present the frame and also say a few words about WOW.

Hopefully next year we presenting a 8/9 battalion photo.

Do this one thing in the next fortnight and Run day gets noticeably less miserable.

The sweat-rate test. Takes one session. Tells you exactly how much you need to drink, instead of guessing and getting it wrong in both directions.

1️⃣ Go to the toilet, then weigh yourself in minimal clothing
2️⃣ Do a normal 60-minute vest session — hot, same time of day, same vest you'll race in
3️⃣ Track exactly how much you drink
4️⃣ Towel off, weigh again before you drink anything or go to the toilet
5️⃣ Sweat loss per hour = weight lost (kg) + fluid drunk (L)
That number is yours. It's nothing like the bloke next to you.

Why it matters both ways: lose more than 2% of your body weight and performance falls off a cliff in the heat. But drink far more plain water than you sweat, for hours, and you dilute your blood sodium — which can be fatal, and it's the slower participants drinking at every stop who are most at risk. Don't finish heavier than you started. Use something with sodium in it.

Full worked example in Fuel the Weight, link in bio. Our supplement partner do a sugar-free hydration sachet with 251 mg of sodium — code WEIGHTOFWAR15 gets you 15% off and sends 15% back to us.
Go weigh yourself. 👇
