Bruce 4

The only div 4 team to DNF Bruce has called an end to their race. After a difficult start where Bruce saw themself off track partially Bush-bashing and on difficult and unpredicted terrain for 5 hours in the early hours of the morning they got themselves back on course. Bruce impressively worked their way back into the field making no more major nav errors and pushing into end point. An impressive effort from a team with three first timers. … Read more.

Division 4

10 hours into the race and division 4 condensed and powering. The majority of the teams have conquered the heavy elevation that the early kms provided and are descending down Araluen road across to the footrace finish. Griffin led by head coach Hannah Vardy and Bng with their coaches Grace and Tom have run a calm race with deliberate navigation allowing them to hold their lead. However, a tight and strong field of YKB, Wam, Fenner, Burg and Wright follow closely behind leaving the podium in questionJohns has made a risky move and forked and Bruce continues heading towards endpoint moving well after their initial confusion… Read more.

Commentator Introduction: Mirah Larkin!

Sat 06:42 . 1x 📷 . Posted by Toby Kitchen

Division 4

After experiencing the three hallmarks of racing Inward Bound: first the “we got so lost a rescue car was the only way out”, second the “at least we made it to the finish”, and then finally the “look at my mug!!”. Mirah has decided to turn her professional ability to yap and keen noseyness of ANU Stravas to the IB live comment section. After a year of staring at the 2024 nav shield - won by her housemate that’s why it’s in her living room - her insights come from a new found and unearned belief in her navigation opinions. Get keen for some enthusiastic but maybe very wrong predictions!!!… Read more.

Sat 06:42 . 1x 📷 . Posted by Alex Brett

Division 4Division 5

The second half of Div 5 and 4 sees colleges make the choice between a safe wide firetail (north), or the single-track "Shoebridge" to the west. The advantage of the track is that whilst the inital turnoff is hard to find, and a bit steep, it eventually flattens out for a long run to endpoint… Read more.
