From The Trails

Each month, the AUTRA committee will bring you a quick hit from the inside, what we’re working on, what’s coming up, and how we’re helping shape the future of ultra, trail, road, and track running across Australia, all with a bit of dirt on our shoes.

The Playbook Is Underway

With two committee meetings in the first month, The Playbook, AUTRA’s bold new vision, is in motion. It’s big picture, and it’s something we’re excited to share with you this October.

Our focus areas include: 1. National Structure & Governance, 2. Race Director Support & National Presence, 3. Runner & Community Development, 4. Financial Sustainability & Identity, 5. Visibility, Connection & Recognition

New Initiatives

We know this sport is different. It runs on heart, grit, and long hours from the athletes chasing goals to the race directors and volunteers making it all possible. And that’s why we’re bringing in some fresh ideas:

Volunteer Month:

Celebrating the legends in hi-vis who keep events moving and make the impossible, possible.

Trail Regeneration Month:

Giving back to the land that gives us everything. Because the future of the sport is also the future of the terrain.

We’re here to do things differently, not for the sake of change, but because this sport deserves more. And it starts with action.

See you next month
