"For as long as I can remember my preferred mode of transport has been foot. Growing up on a farm I herded stock, and we spent many hours exploring bush tracks and the coastline that bordered our property. If it’s not a black tie event, then it's common practice for me to show up in my runners with a slight bead on my forehead. More recently, I've applied my passion for running to compete in ultra-marathons. A major draw card is the opportunity to explore locations that are typically off-limits e.g. traversing 250km across Asia’s largest desert, the Gobi in northwestern China over a period of seven days. 
One of the most valuable lessons I have taken from endurance events is that a lack of natural ability can be compensated with dedication and discipline. Training counts; so, come rain or shine I'll be out there leaving only footprints, and experiencing the world from a totally different angle than most people."

"Hi, I'm Mel.  A 39 year old Police Officer who is passionate about all forms of running - off road, on road, long and short distance.  I only found my passion about 3 years ago and since taking up running, have

thrived in setting goals and smashing them!  Running allows me to maintain a good work/life balance, and ensure I look after my body from the inside out.  It's fantastic to be a part of the Endurobeet Stable and have the support of Brad and the  ENDURObeet team to assist me in making my dreams come true." 2016

Sam Clark (Multi- sport racer) 2016, 2017, and 2018 Coast to Coast One Day Champion (back to back to back) Chris Dunell (Trail Runner) Hi, My name is Chris Dunell, I'm 29 years old and live in Christchurch. I am a Police Officer currently attached to the Youth Crime Unit. 'Inspiring troubled youth and reducing crime'. For me a balanced life is essential; altruism, friends/family and inspiring others to create healthier lifestyles through nutrition and running is what it looks like behind life's curtain. My happy place: Enjoying the primitive motion of running in the mountains.
