Run Down: Q1 Race Recap, Segment Challenges & Sticky Shorts

Kia ora all, thanks for picking Run Adjacent.

In this Run Down episode, Hayden and Mal catch up on all the action from the first few months of 2025—covering epic events like the Old Ghost Ultra, Beach to Basin, and the Parihaka Trail Run.

We shout out some local legends (looking at you, Sam Rout and Shannon-Lee Litt), preview what’s coming up on the race calendar, and introduce a cheeky new segment challenge thanks to Merrell NZ. Plus, we go off-track with walkout songs, dad running, and an unfortunate return of... sticky shorts.
