Wild Earth Training Camp Recap, Red Bull Wings for Life on Tonight, Vollies, Vollies, Vollies, Finishers T-Shirt and MORE!
Wow! What a fantastic training camp! I think the coaches had just as much fun as the runners! It was so good to connect with the BTU Newbies Community at the latest Wild Earth BTU Training Camp Yesterday. We had all types of runners attending; some were just new to trails and had never run more than 10km, others eyeing up the BTU110 and wanting some one-on-one tips to help them have a better day-to-day experience, prevent injuries, and improve their training.
Our coaches, Liam McKenzie from The McKenzie Method, Jodie Oborne Ultra Chick, and Susannah Harvey-Jamieson, were on hand to provide fantastic trail running tips and were willing to share their secrets with the group.
We are so proud to have the top of the line LEKI ULTRATRAIL FX.ONE SUPERLITE TRAIL RUNNING CARBON POLES and LEKI ULTRATRAIL FX.ONE TRAIL RUNNING POLES for our group to try. Liam and Shona hosted a pole skills workshop and offered personalised tips to each of the runners on the 10km circuit, including where to place your poles, hand position, body positioning, getting them in and out of your pack, and more.
Like at all our training camps, the attendees received an amazing goodies bag with Salomon Soft Flask, Wild Earth Spend $150.00 receive $25.00 off Gift Voucher, Smartwool Socks and Hammer Nutrition Gel Samples and Red Bull Energy Drink we like watering it down 50% Red Bull, 50% Water.
We also chatted about our preferred Headphones, Shokz Open Ear Headphones, and why. You feel the music 🤩 like you are in front of a speaker, they totally elevate your trail running experience, yet you can still hear runners, bikes and cars around you. Shokz Open Ear Headphones are a much safer choice for music on the BTU Course.
Our next camp is coming up! 25th and 26th May. We usually SELL OUT As it is the BTU30, BTU60, BTU110, BTU100Mi Qualifier. On Saturday, we run 48km, and on Sunday, we run 18km. So come along, we’d love to meet you plus you will meet new trail running buddies 🫶🏽
We hope you like our 2024 Finishers T-Shirt 🤩🤩🤩 Designed by RD Shona Stephenson, incorporating the key climbs on the course plus connecting the profile with the iconic Brisbane River, and pays respect to the indigenous Country that the course travels through, from Turrbal to Jinibarra to Turrbal again. But you have to FINISH THE BTU to get one. So sign up, get your training ✅ and be rewarded at the finish line with one of these limited edition Finishers T-shirts.
