Struggling up a nasty hill climb, a stranger (also competing) offers me a jellybean and says to my thank you "Thats OK, I think we are going to get pretty close over the next few hours!"

Kotahitanga flourishes on the trails when we unite in our common purpose, share struggles and overcome challenges.

These are the experiences I wish for our trailblazers. We want them to make connections and be able to celebrate their achievements in an environment that is supportive and inclusive.
