the power of running hey
I’m so fu***ng proud of you
I love you mate
2026 May edition is here 💪
I’m grateful to be supporting runners from all over the world this week as event ambassador and support coach.
The runners have been training and fundraising for months and are ready to rip in come Saturday night. I’m looking forward to being a part of the operations team and playing a role behind the scenes.
While I wish I was out there running alongside them and helping them take the next step, there’s something about watching people go to battle with themselves that only those with a deep love for the sport can truly appreciate and understand.

5 sleeps until BALI HOPE ULTRA week kicks off! 🎉🥳
Next Saturday night, the May 2026 Bali Hope Ultra team will toe the start line of an 80km race, running from one side of Bali to the other, through the night.
Bali Hope Ultra isn't just a race. It's a week-long experience built around community, purpose, and using the power of endurance sport to make real change happen. Every runner raises funds for the Bali Children Foundation, which puts disadvantaged Balinese children through school. A child who gets an education goes on to earn more, provide more, and give more back to their family and community. One school place. A lifetime of ripple effects.
My own journey with this event dates back to 2019:
🏅 2019 - My second ultra and my first ultra win. The race that cracked something open in me.
🫶 2023 - As the event ambassador, I ran 106km overnight up and down the course as a support runner. Not racing, just making sure every single person felt seen and supported.
🩼 2025 - Still battling Freiberg's disease and devastating injuries from my run around Australia, I couldn't run a step. So I joined the operations team instead.
Every year has given me more than I brought to it. I'm so grateful to this event and the great people behind it for continuing to have me along for the ride.
To the 13 runners who trusted me with their preparation in a 1-on-1 capacity this year, thank you. Watching you put in the work and knowing you're about to stand on that start line is something I don't take lightly.
Next week in Bali, I'll be sharing updates across my socials. Follow along, it’s going to be a big week! 🙌🐎
65% of you said don't race. 35% of you know who I am.
When I arrived in Hammo last Thursday after a badly sprained ankle on Wednesday night, I knew I was in trouble. But what did I do? I sucked it up and went to work.
I embraced the mindset that I embodied around Australia. The one where I had stabbing forefoot pain since the Northern Territory and ran another 100+ consecutive ultras on that foot until my mission was completed.
The way my ankle was feeling leading into the race, I was sure an MRI would have revealed that I was unfit to race. Just like an MRI would've revealed that in the Northern Territory. But on both occasions, when I knew a stint on the sidelines was going to follow, I said f**k it and ran through it to see what I was made of.
We can learn so much from doing hard things.
put on an incredible event and I didn’t want to miss out. 27th place out of 206 runners with one fit leg. I'll take that.
My long road back since my Aus run has been frustrating with injury and illness. But I know i’ll be back. And I don't ever want to lose the mindset that makes me me.
Last day on the Whitsundays, hike went really well 😂 #

I’ve dreamt about my first race back for so long.
On reflection, the uncertainty around whether my ankle would hold up only made it more special.
Put Hilly Hammo Half on your bucket list. I first ran it in 2023, and yesterday topped it. It just keeps getting better ⛰️🏃♂️
Looking forward to building off this one, as I work back to the big stuff.

My first race back 🏃♂️⛰️
I'm stoked with that.
It was big effort just to get to the start line today, but once I was out there, I forgot about my ankle and loved every minute. I love the running community and I love competing.
Had the day 82 run around Aus blues and took a 300m wrong turn. 300m up, 300m back. Character building to say the least 😂
Thank you for the epic event, and to everyone who sent messages throughout the week with tips for my sprained ankle to help me get up today. I appreciate you 🙏
