Message To The Members (FEB 2026)

Dave Martin • March 1, 2026

FEBRUARY 2026

We wish to inform you that Gary Mullins and Geoff Russell have resigned from their roles as President and Vice President of the Australia Ultra and Trail Running Association (AUTRA), effective immediately, for personal reasons.

On behalf of the Committee and membership, we sincerely thank both Gary and Geoff for their dedication and leadership during what has been a particularly challenging term for the Association.

Gary has contributed significantly over many years, not only in his role as President, but also previously as a State Representative and as a member of the Selection Committee. His commitment to the sport and to the Association has been greatly valued.

Geoff has likewise made a meaningful contribution, particularly through his work with the Trail Sub-Committee. We are pleased to advise that Geoff will continue his involvement with the Trail Sub-Committee moving forward.

In light of these changes, the Committee has resolved to bring forward the Annual General Meeting to 26 March 2026. Formal notice of the AGM, along with the appropriate documentation, will be distributed in accordance with the required 14-day notice period.

We would also like to reassure members that the association remains fully operational and continues to progress the important work currently underway.

We thank you for your ongoing support and look forward to providing further updates shortly.

DAVID MARTIN
