Michael lives in Auckland, New Zealand. When he is not on the trails he consults and invests mainly in the tech sector. Michael’s first 100k race was the Mongolia Sunrise to Sunset in 2019, and he claims the unofficial prize for the worst blisters (photos available on request). He has also run the MS2S 42k (no blisters) as well as other marathons and ultras in New Zealand, USA and Europe. While always on the lookout for the next trail run somewhere in the world he believes the location, organisation, and ethos of the MS2S makes it a special race and is happy to share his experiences and tips to kiwis thinking about running in Mongolia.
