Australia's Toughest Ultramarathon?

Dr David McKinnon recently completed the Mind Alpine Challenge in the Victorian Alps.  The event raises funds for MIND, an organisation that supports people with mental illness.  At 100 miles long with 7000m of ascent and descent it has justifiably claimed the title of Australia's toughest trail Ultramarathon (and there is nothing harder on road or track either!).  The course covers Mt Feathertop, Mt Hotham and Mt Bogong; and is as beautiful as it is hard.  He completed the task running with the only other Queenslander in the event Tamyka Bell in just over 46 hours.  He was pleased that he did not need to self treat for anything more than some minor foot problems.  He was very thankful for his down jacket on the second night.  Report and photos from the event via www.mindaustralia.org.au
