Andrew Gaskell: WMTRC Pre-Race Interview

Tasmanian trail runner Andrew Gaskell has one of the most remarkable backstories in the sport. In this episode, he shares how football and a bucket-list marathon led him to ultras, why the trails of kunanyi/Mt Wellington feel like home, and his rise onto the Australian World Championships team.

We also revisit his extraordinary 2016 survival ordeal in the jungles of Borneo, the lessons it taught him, and how he continues to thrive on some of the toughest terrain in the country. Tune in to hear the full story.
