Miscellaneous


This is Brad Aird, an ultra runner and coffee lover from the Gold Coast. During the past few years, Brad has chalked up some outstanding results in local Ultras such as the Scenic Rim Ultra, Glass House 100 and the Nerang 100 - however, most notably and recently, he became the second person to reach 100km on the infamous Goat Loop and the first to run 16 laps.In this chat, Brad and I grab a coffee and find a seat inside Nerang National Park and chat about his running story. His past in Muay Thai fascinated me with his stories of his first fight through to the trip to Japan to fight for a world title. He discusses how these years have shaped him as a runner and how he balances training and family life. So, grab a coffee and go for a run with Brad Aird, as he relives the Ghosts of Goat Loop past and even mentions his reason for taking the single track on the last three laps.
