Coast To Koscioszko is one of Australia’s toughest endurance events, beginning in the town of Eden in southern NSW and ending 240km later at Australia’s highest point at the peak of Mount Koscioszko. The 2021 event, delayed due to COVID, presented some of the most challenging weather conditions the event and the athletes had ever seen – torrential sideways rain and floods that brough a whole new dimension to race tactics and survival.
Today we speak to ultra marathon runner Donna Urquhart and track her progress from her COVID impacted training schedule right through the race until her incredible finish. The cold, the wet, the terrain, the tiredness, the nutrition – it’s all covered!
And as an extra bonus we get to speak to chief crew member, Donna’s husband Rhys about the preparation, and the challenges that the crew also faced, and the battle they had to keep Donna dry and warm!
Tune in and listen to one of our toughest endurance athletes talk about one of our toughest endurance events, at the same time gaining insight into what it takes to conquer events such as C2K!
