NO SURRENDER: I was invited to run across Timor Leste, which is one of Australia’s closest neighbours- to our North. It’s a small and slender country that’s been at war, on and off, for 500 years. With ten other runners from all over the world, and with a mix of local and Aussie guides, we ran 100km over 5000m of dusty, steep, coffee-laden country. We dossed down each night in guest houses or tents, ate whatever the locals had on offer and settled into life on the trail. Front of mind for much of the run was the trail itself, a path with a hell of a story; the story of La Rende! No Surrender!
