After quite the southern adventure, it looks like Wright 6 have got back on track (or trail?)… Read more.

Mikayla is the ultimate fiery ginger – tell her there’s a certain Wamba man behind her and she’ll run like the wind. Despite using first-year stem courses as an excuse not to run, we believe her mental stamina used to listen to hours of audiobooks will push her to the finish line.
This is Emma’s third IB season, yet the first she’s actually running. After floods in 2022, and her role as CC in 2023, she’s ready to take on IB. Fuelled by yoghurt and instant noodles, she’s in fighting form from croc wrangling up in Darwin. We look forward to finally seeing IB on her Strava!
Please welcome Alex Mirrlees-Black, otherwise known as "the Human GPS" or "the Route Whisperer". A seasoned IB runner, she smashed the Div 7 course in 2022, and she's back as Head Navigator. Alex loves a cheeky bushbash and yap about maths. With a ruthless competitive streak, she'll swiftly calculate her way to Endpoint.
Anish. Where to start. His Strava graph may be more triangles than actual distance, but given his commitment to seemingly every ANU club, we have no doubt he’ll make a good-enough scout. Rumour has it he doesn’t know what a powerline looks like, good luck to the rest of the team!

This is another CP of which teams must pass through one, we suspect this to be the busiest of them with Divs 1,3, 4, 6, & 7 able to pass through here… Read more.

Wright Division 6 are persisting in taking a southern route - this is very much not ideal. Either they still don’t know where they are, or they’ve chosen a very interesting route… Read more.

Spare a thought for our poor Division 6 teams, who are getting their feet wet right at the start of their 50 km trek. Not a comfortable experience…… Read more.

While most of the Division 6 teams are powering through Vanity’s Crossing, Wright seems to be heading directly south of their Dropsite. Will they continue south (a bad idea) or retrace their steps?… Read more.

Teams have left the Division 6 Dropsite in every direction! This is very exciting. It’s highly likely that most of these teams have a ver limited idea of where they currently are… Read more.

Teams in Div 6 are dropped on a 3 way intersection and with only 4 minutes to scout hopefully they'll send one of their navs on a bonus scouting adventure to gain the maximal amount of information… Read more.

The predictor is now up and running!, at the start will be super volatile and likely under estimate time of arrival just after drop (over estimate eventual overall average GAP (Gradient Adjusted Pace)) as typically teams start off hot/fast (see below graph of speeds of historical IB teams) with it taking time for teams to settle in a rhythm and on a route. It also assumes optimal navving which is probably unlikely, only accounting for the terrain and distance of the optimal route ahead. This means it will also not consider other factors that may slow a team down like a trail being overgrown… Read more.
