The First Combined Australian Mountain and Trail Champs Announced for 2027 feat. RD Lincoln Quilliam | Episode 118

In this episode of Peak Pursuits Brodie and Jess are joined by race director Lincoln Quilliam to discuss the recent announcement of the first combined Australian Mountain and Trail Championships to be held at Kunanyi Mountain Run 2027. Being a world championships year, this announcement is huge as any athletes vying for a spot on the Australian team for Cape Town will now converge for one big weekend in Hobart, hopefully seeing some of the most competitive fields on Aussie soil across all distances. Lincoln talks through some behind the scenes of making this happen, goes through the new championship courses, and the team talk through what this means for the sport in Australia. Also covered is the awesome prize money announced for Transcend Ultra (real gold anyone?), the Hardrock 100 results, some Aussie results at Chongli Trail Race in China, and then bringing it home for the domestic results. Results: Raffertys Coastal Run (NSW) Howling Dog After Dark Trail Run (SA) Ultra Adelaide (SA)***Don’t forget, use code PEAK at https://bix-hydration.myshopify.com/en-au for 20% off Bix products, exclusive to PPP listeners!***Join us on Patreon HEREConnect with us on Instagram @peakpursuits.pod to share your thoughts, questions, and your own trail stories.
