Forest Gump vs My Little Pony - Born To Run Adventure Racing 24 Hour Challenge

I'm back to take part in the 2025 edition of the Born To Run Adventure Racing 24 Hour Challenge, this time, I'm a bit older, fatter and slower...

For those unfamiliar with the format, pretty simple, do as many 5km loops around the hills of Whangerei within 24 hours, accompanied by a miniature horse.

Clearly there is nothing normal about a middle aged man hanging out with miniature horses on a weekend. So, in order to legitimise it, I've put together this page to raise money for the charity that does a great job in rescuing, rehabbing and rehoming these magnificent (little) beasts!

Post Race Day  19 May 2025

Thanks everyone for your kinds donations, they were all appreciated. I got paired with Hank at the weekend, one of the larger minis with a healthy appetite (match made in heaven). Hank 'the Tank' and I managed 70km, couldn't quite keep up with my old stable mate (pun intended) Sebastian who managed 87.5km, or the winner Mr Chestnut who managed a whopping 100km!
