While training for an Obstacle Course Race in 2012 Sam started to enjoy  trail running more than OCR racing. He soon began competing in trail running races and preferred hilly courses which led him to pursue mountain running.

He has continued to improve every year and his running career highlights now include winning the 2018 Ultra-Trail Australia 50k and representing Australia at the 2018 World Mountain Running Championships.

Sam is also a husband, dad & Project Manager but always makes time to run & train on his local hills in Canberra or in the mountains.
