THEY CALL HIM THE BACKYARD King • HE WENT FROM 5KM A DAY TO SMASHING YARD RECORDS IN AUSTRALIAN BACKYARD ULTRAS, AND NOW HE’S KNOWN AS THE BACKYARD KING. SINCE HIS FIRST 12KM RACE IN 2014, WEST AUSTRALIAN PHIL GORE HAS GONE FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO HAVING HIS PRESENCE KNOWN WHEN WALKING UP TO THE START LINE OF A RACE – THERE’S WHISPERS FROM BEGINNER RUNNERS, AND A SHAKE OF THE HAND FROM THOSE HE KNOWS. BUT THERE’S MORE TO HIM THAN MEETS THE EYE – HE’S METICULOUS, LIKES PREDICTABILITY, AND WORKS SOLIDLY TO BREAK HIS OWN PBS AT THE NOW NOTORIOUS LAST ONE STANDING FORMAT. HE’S FOUND HIS CALLING WITH BACKYARD ULTRAS, AND AS KATE DZIENIS DISCOVERS, THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF ‘BEHIND THE SCENES’ WORK THAT’S GONE INTO HIS IMPRESSIVE REPUTATION

THE SALVATION HE FOUND WAS A DISCOVERY DEEPER THAN HE EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE, AND HE NOW TRAVERSES THE BEST MOTHER NATURE HAS TO OFFER WITH HIS ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE THE EARTH AT EASE. HE’S BECOME KNOWN IN HIS RUNNING TRIBE AS THE FOREST GOAT, AND ISOBEL ROSS SPENDS SOME TIME WITH HIM TO FIND OUT HOW IT ALL BEGAN, AND HOW HE’S COPING WITH LIFE NOW.

THERE’S NO Stopping THE VICTORIAN VICTOR • FOR ONE VICTORIAN TRAIL RUNNER, IT WAS WIN AFTER WIN AFTER WIN IN 2021 WHEN IT CAME TO THE RACES HE ENTERED ACROSS AUSTRALIA, AND IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR HE WAS RECOGNISED BY THE AUSTRALIAN ULTRA RUNNERS ASSOCIATION TO BE NAMED 2021 MALE ULTRA RUNNER OF THE YEAR. FROM THE CRADLE MOUNTAIN RUN IN TASMANIA TO THE MARGARET RIVER ULTRA IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA, MATT CREHAN EARNED THE TITLE THANKS TO HIS SPEED, ENDURANCE, AND HUMBLE NATURE. HE’S A NAME AT RACES THAT MANY HAVE COME TO KNOW, AND THAT MANY HAVE COME TO ADMIRE AND BEFRIEND AS THEY SEE HIM APPROACH THE START LINES OF NUMEROUS TRAIL EVENTS. KATE DZIENIS SAT DOWN WITH THE AGILE MATT TO DISCOVER HOW HE MANAGED TO GET SO MANY RACES UNDER HIS BELT IN 2021, AND WHAT IT TAKES TO HIT PODIUM FINISHES CONTINUOUSLY.
