About Us | Moretrail

An idea is born...

Sitting at your work desk staring out the window - dreaming of bombing down a technical single track, mountain sounds around you, best mate charging behind you pushing the tempo... that was us! To fill in the time between trail adventures we would spend the week sending each other trail memes, Youtube clips, ideas for our next race... you name it!

We know we are not the only ones in this boat and an idea started to take shape. More than just passing the time between long runs we have seen over countless trail running events how amazing the trail running community is and how rare it is to find that special camaraderie that exists amongst trail runners.

Only as strong as its members...

The idea of community is something that has always resonated with us and that is a big driving force behind the idea for Moretrail. We have plenty of ideas moving forward of ways we hope to add to the trail running scene and give back to a community that has given us so much over the past decade.

We are acutely aware though that the success of any community is highly dependant on it's members which is why we want to make sure the experience at Moretrail and the content we show is driven by members for members. Unlike the work colleague who immediately realises they have bitten off more than they can chew by asking you about which brand of running shoe they should buy - we are here for it all day!

Meet Mat...

I've run on and off my whole life. Probably a little more off than I'd like to admit here. I'm a huge fan of signing up to races that I have no intention of training for and carb loading for said races. I have prearranged multiple DNFs, which were the only races that have ever gone to plan.

I live in Queenstown, New Zealand and love exploring the amazing trails and mountains around the South Island. I also run around after two little kids who give me a great excuse for not doing more actual running.

Meet Mark...

I hated running. Seriously. Then, to get over a bad breakup, some so called 'friend' (see above) signed me up to a marathon and I actually kinda liked it. Don't tell him that. He started running ultras and I obviously wasn't going to do that. So now I do that.

You can find me running the trails in Sydney's Northern Beaches and the nearby Blue Mountains. Always in the latest gear, you can spot me cause I make drool, vomit and death marching look gooood.
