A possible next chapter

Tamarack Ottawa International Marathon 2027

Running · Marathon · May 2027

The same distance somewhere new — Ottawa, Canada. Harder isn't the only way forward.

A future horizon

IRONMAN Lake Placid 2027

Multisport · 3.8 km swim / 180 km bike / 42.2 km run · Jul 2027

A bigger challenge to keep in mind for later — epic, and one people talk about for years.

Or try something different

Trans Augrabies Trail Run 2-Stage 2027

Same running legs, but on trails instead of roads — slower, wilder, more scenery.

Just an idea, not a plan — your year is yours to shape.
