This is Eliott. Eliott makes beer. Not just any beer, award winning beer, including the Good Times you had the finish line. Eliot also enjoys running, or at least enjoys drinking beer after running a 30km Adventure Run through the mountains!
Interesting fact Eliott grew up just down the road from the Foster's on the Moonlight Track - great to have amazing support from our literal neighbours.
Massive thanks to Eliott, Eddie and Jeremy plus all the crew from who support our event.
