SCOTT'S QUEST: a trail running odyssey

TrailRunMag 17.07.2012

Scott Knabel is on a mission: to change his life. Through trail running.

Judged as morbidly obese by doctors, he has tried and failed to change his lifestyle in the past. But this is different. This time he’s playing dirty.

Specifically, he’s taking on the Salomon Trail Run Series in Melbourne, Australia, as the stepping stone to losing weight, picking up energy, getting healthier, kicking any leanings toward depression, and, eventually, he wants to conquer a 100km ultra, with the Two Bays, Maroondah Dam Trail Run, Surf Coast Century and The North Face 100 all lined up in his ambitious sights. That’s what we call inspiration.

This is the second video (below) in the series following Scott’s Quest as he shows what is possible. If you haven’t met Scott, learn about his backstory in the Episode 01video  here.

SCOTT’S QUEST EPISODE 2


The video above captures Scott’s first ever trail race – 10km around the trails of Melbourne’s Yarra Bend.

Stay tuned for his next effort at Race #2, Lower Plenty Gorge.
