Trundlers blitz the Max 24hr

After their first DNF the Trundlers were keen to make a mark in this years 24hr MaxAdventure race. Last year, 2007, saw the Trundlers Amms and Alex take out 4th place in the premier mixed, only narrowly missing out on the podium due to their generosity in helping a team with lost maps around the final trek leg!

In 2008, the race was held again on the Central Coast. On the toughest course to date the Trundlers did not dissappoint.

The Trundlers entered as 2 teams. Alex and Ann-Marie in the mixed and Rob and Julien in the Male Categories. After 18hrs of hard fought racing the final coasteer leg splits the teams. Julien and Rob race home to finish 2nd in the male category (only being beaten by the world class Blackheart team) while Alex and Ann-Marie miss the final CP and come home 3rd in the premier mixed after the time penalty.
