Chafing the Dream NZ

Show Notes

Haere mai Episode 27 is here and get ready for some rambling. The first 15 minutes is Dwayne and Mal discussing our thoughts on shoe sponsors, money in trail running (or lack thereof ), and other random bits and bobs. Dwayne was lucky enough to snag a quick pre-race interview from Sam Rout, ranked 3rd currently for the 50k at Tarawera but more importantly our local northland rep. We are stoked to have him race in Rotovegas and already know he will smash it. Boys a beast, especially on dem hills. After the interview we review the top athletes for the 50k race of Tarawera for male and female race. Dwayne will be down in Rotovegas this weekend trying to support our local legend, Sam Rout as well as get some short clips of the athletes. Happy trails y'all and keep chafing your dreamzzzz. Mal and Dwayne
