RECORD YOUR VOLUNTEER EFFORTS FOR THE 2019

Alexis Oosterhoff • January 19, 2020

Did you volunteer at an ultra running event in 2019? If you did, THANK YOU! Without the thousands of hours volunteered each and every year, many of the events on the Australian circuit could not be held.

For those who volunteered at an AURA listed event during the year, would you like that recognised and recorded in the AURA 2019 Points Competition?

The AURA Points Competition tally for 2019 has been updated with all results for 2019 — you can see the current state here. All that’s left is information on those who assisted at events during the year. If that’s you, please fill out the form here before Friday February 7th 2020 so we can finalise the points competition results.

To find out more about the Points Competition, please see the FAQ and competition details here.

Race Report: Delirious West - Unfinished Business

May 28, 2026

The Delirious WEST 200 Miler on the Bibbulmun Track again proved brutal in 2026, with a small field of runners and a significant proportion recording DNFs as the days wore on. This year’s race reinforced the event’s reputation for high attrition, where long gaps between aid, tricky coastal sections and accumulated fatigue regularly stop experienced ultrarunners short of Albany. After two previous heartbreaks at Delirious WEST, Gabe Alves lined up in 2026 for a third attempt at the 200‑mile distance. This time he overhauled his entire approach, from pacing and sleep strategy to nutrition and managing the physical issues that had forced him out in past years. Between the mental battles of the long nights and the constant push to keep moving when everything says to stop, this video captures the reality of a multi‑day struggle where giving up isn't an option. Tag along to see Gabe face down unfinished business at the 2026 edition and find out if this third journey finally leads to the breakthrough he’s been chasing: Delirious West – Unfinished Business .
