Latest updates

And finally from MBRR Trail Edition we have Kirsty Nielsen with some great answers 1. How did you get into trail running, and how has it impacted your life? I got into trail running as a way to find me again after becoming a mum. It's truly enhanced my life with a sense of freedom through being able to see so many parts of SEQ that only my feet can take me. 2. How did you find MBRR Trail Edition and what is your favourite MBRRTE moment or memory?I've been a long time member of MBRR and naturally when MBRRTE was formed of course I joined this incredible group! Favourite moment so far was connecting with our community at the last TRAQ event at Bullocky's Rest 3. What is your favourite trial or event, and why?Favourite annual trail is Blackall without a doubt, I've done the 50km 3 times now and 2025 I will tackle the 100km. The whole weekend is amazing, from the welcome to country ceremony, the event itself and the presentations, it's a magical weekend celebrating trail running & the people that make it great. 4. Many trail runners emphasise the mental and emotional benefits they get of being in nature, what is your own personal experience connection between nature and trial running?I was diagnosed with post-natal depression after the birth of my first baby and wanted to try a path that didn't involve medication, so I stumbled into running and then found the trails. My life has been full with so much positives since. The trails provide a place where I can switch off, breathe and I feel so free. On top of this, the community is full of so many amazing people who support each other no matter what. 5. What tips do you give new trail runners?Find Your Tribe! First and foremost, find a group you connect with, trail running is nothing if there isn't community involved, sure there are a million nutrition and training tips, but for me, the most important part is connection with those who support you and lift you up on the trails.Thanks Kirsty and hope to see you on Sunday ...
