TripleCrownunder Grand Master Australia

Hi, my name is Thibault and I’m an ultra-distance runner. I grew up in France but have made Australia my home the last few years and I’m happy to say I am now an Australian permanent resident.

My running journey began during my first few years living in Australia… it was the beginning of 2018 and I suddenly made the decision to give up smoking, this lead me to start running as a distraction and I haven’t looked back since!

In 2020 I was living in Tasmania and spent my time running as much as I could. I was determined to train properly for long distances and this resulted in me finishing the Tassie Trail Fest 100mile race in 1st position 2 years in a row. My goal was to break the 24h mark. The 1st year I finished with a time of 24:52:34. After this I trained harder and smarter and the 2nd year I finally did it and finished with a time of 23:23:43. Now I feel ready to go even bigger and want to aim for 200 miles.

I now live in Adelaide and after doing some research for ultra-distance races I discovered the title of “TripleCrownunder Grand Master” and Project24 was born.

TripleCrownunder Grand Master consists of completing 3x 200mile races within a year.

For Australia, the races are:

• The Delirious WEST 200 miler February 2024,

• The Irrational SOUTH 200 miler April 2024,

• The Unreasonable EAST 200 miler August 2024

A lot of things have to be considered and the logistics still need to be worked out to prepare for this big challenge.

The funds I receive will be used to assist my support team as without them joining me this wouldn't be possible.
