Racing News - SEQ Trail and Road Running Tom Batty/Kyle Weise

Racing New's 2023 Trail Runner of the Year Billy Curtis steps off the rugged terrain and into our podcast studio, sharing the heartbeat of his journey from the team huddles of rugby league to the independent peaks of trail running. As Billy opens up about the intricacies of juggling life as a student, farmer, and now trail co worker, it's evident that his story is not just about athletic prowess but a testament to the balance of dedication across all facets of life. We explore the essence of his training, his early race days, and how his rugby background has been an unexpected asset in the world of solo running.

Venture with us through Billy's exhilarating trail racing adventures, where each race is a chapter filled with strategic confrontations and personal victories. From an eye-opening first race at the Glasshouse 50 to his tactical success at renowned events like the SEQ series and the UTA 22km, Billy recounts the pivotal moments and the highs and lows of competing against both the course and the clock. His global race ambitions come alive as he reminisces about the grueling 50K in Borneo and the Ultra Trail Kosciuszko, painting a picture of the sheer determination required to excel in this demanding sport.

As we edge closer to the starting line of upcoming races, Billy, Kyle and Tom trade predictions and tips from our trove of trail tales, offering a glimpse into the riveting world of competitive trail running. The Golden Trail Series looms on the horizon, promising stories of triumph and the relentless spirit of runners like Billy and the community's legends. His gratitude for being part of the conversation resonates with each of us who turn passion into footsteps on the trail. Join us for an episode that's as much about the inner journey as it is about the outer miles.
