March 9th, 2025 – Joes Milford Run, the 3rd Edition.
24 Runners. Scott returning for the third year. Richard joining with 36hrs notice.
Two travelling from the North Island. One from Dublin, Ireland!
Burgers and a drink together the night before.
Two buses. Five boats. Drop bags ready.
A 7am start. 5:30am if you count the drive out.
54km of Milford Track – plus all of the side tracks and trail to the majestic Sutherland Falls.
An absolute bluebird day. 360 degree views at the summit and on Mackinnon Pass and not a drop of rain. A belter of a track. A truly iconic and special corner of the world.
For the second year in a row, we took the reins and coordinated a group to share the logistics of running the Milford Track in a single day. Making some adjustments and improvements on the year before, and introducing a couple of new surprises for the runners.
