3. Running with purpose on the AAWT, and other ultra adventures

Matt Gore and Giles Penfold join us to discuss their 2021 traverse of the Australian Alpine Walking Track, as they raised funds and awareness to protect wild places under threat.  This conversation shares many aspects of their big adventure; from planning and logistics, to their time out on the trail, how they navigated fundraising and other challenges along the way.  We then check in with Giles two years later, to reflect on tackling the AAWT, the challenges they experienced in creating a movie about their experience and what the keen trail and ultra runners have been up to since.  You can watch the teaser trailer for the long awaited feature film here.  You can also see clips at @655forthewild, or follow Matt and Giles on Instagram at @mattbgore or @gilespenfold.    To hear more from For Wild Places, subscribe to our newsletter or become a member.
