Endu1 Athletes Shine at Warburton Trail Festival – A Golden Trail Series Event

The Warburton Trail Festival—one of the Golden Trail National Series races—delivered an unforgettable weekend of grit, endurance, and adventure. Several Endu1 athletes took on the challenge, pushing their limits across multiple events. Here’s how they performed and their post-race reflections:

🥇 Miah Noble – Donna Double Champion & Golden Trail Series Contender

✅ Event: Donna Double (20km, 1,333m elevation gain)
🏆 Result: 1st Female / 11th Overall (2:11:23)

Miah took on her first-ever Vertical Kilometre and Golden Trail National Series race. After powering through the Southern Hemisphere’s steepest residential street, she embraced the climb up Mt Donna Buang. Despite battling dehydration, she held strong on the descent, crossing the finish line victorious!

"The field was strong, so I knew I had to run my own race. The descent made me anxious, but as I gained confidence, I felt faster and stronger. Despite underestimating my hydration needs, I pushed through. Seeing friendly faces cheering me on made all the difference!" – Miah Noble

💥 Tom Dade – Fuelled by Endu1 & Racing Strong at Warburton Trail Festival

Tom took on the Donna Double, marking his first race under sponsorship from Altra Running AU & COROS ANZ. A seasoned ultra-runner, he reflected on how transitioning to zero-drop shoes has helped him address hip issues and improve his stride.

"Feeling very grateful and blessed to have support from two brands I rate very highly. The race was a true test, and I was stoked to be part of it!" – Tom Dade

When it comes to racing at high intensity, Tom prefers to drink his fuel rather than eat gels or solid foods, making Endu1 Honey Boost Ultra his go-to energy and hydration source.

For this 2-hour race, he used 6 scoops of Honey Boost Ultra, evenly split between two flasks:
✅ 3 scoops of Lime flavour in one flask 🍋
✅ 3 scoops of Original flavour in the other 🍯

"For a race like Donna Double, this gave me the energy I needed to feel strong throughout. If it were a longer race, I’d need more carbs, but for two hours, this was perfect—I felt strong the whole time!" – Tom Dade

A huge congrats to Tom on another stellar race, powered by smart fueling, smart training, and natural endurance nutrition! 💪🔥

🥉 Jordan Murphy – Redwoods Rush Podium Finish

✅ Event: Redwoods Rush (27km)
🏆 Result: 3rd Male

Jordan had a breakthrough performance, showing that his training is paying off despite recent niggles and slower recovery. Working closely with Impact Sports Recovery has helped him overcome setbacks, leading to his first pain-free run of the year—a huge confidence booster for Buffalo Stampede in the coming weeks.

"Training’s been up and down lately, but Saturday’s race felt amazing. Big thanks to Connor from Impact Sports Recovery—he’s a master at what he does! Also, huge shoutout to @tomdade11, @miahrosenoble, and @endu1sportsnutrition for the incredible support and fueling!" – Jordan Murphy

🤯 Amy Hewitt – Multiday Madness Podium Finish!

✅ Events:

• Lumberjack (50km, 1,000m vert)
• Double Donna (21km, 1,300m vert)
• Three Thong Thang (100m sprint)
• Little Joe’s Night Run (8km, 400m vert)
• Lilo Derby (3km float race)
  ⏱️ Total time: 14 hours 48 minutes
  🏆 Result: 3rd Female Overall in the Multiday Madness

Amy pushed through fatigue and self-doubt to complete the festival’s toughest multi-event challenge. Her mindset shifted from hesitation to embracing the discomfort and making history with her longest, hardest weekend of racing yet.

"If it wasn’t for my awesome partner Harry, I wouldn’t have even started the 50km or Double Donna. He told me, ‘Just get to the start line.’ I’m so glad I pushed myself like never before!" – Amy Hewitt

🔥 Mick Marshall – Making History as an Adaptive Athlete

Mick tackled one of the toughest short-course events in the Golden Trail Series—on crutches—while climbing over 1,225m of vertical gain! He became the first adaptive athlete to compete in the Australian Golden Trail Series, beating the cutoff time and embracing every challenge along the way.

"This festival had it all! The toughest of trails, world-class fun, and a community that truly makes trail running special. My next goals? The Three Thong Thang and Lilo Derby—training starts now!" – Mick Marshall
