The New Year’s Resolution Run marks the first major event of the year for Kowen Trail Run! Taking place on Sunday, 19th January, participants can choose between two challenging distances: a 12km run or a half marathon.
Mont has proudly been the sole sponsor of the Kowen Races since their inception five years ago, supporting this outstanding Canberra initiative that fosters a supportive trail running community. Founded by Pam Muston with support from her daughter Clare and backed by the Wamboin Fire Brigade, the event continues to grow in size and spirit.
This January, an estimated 600 eager competitors will navigate through the breathtaking Kowen Forest, along scenic dirt tracks and fire trails. The half-marathon participants will face an impressive 680 metres of elevation gain, while the 12km runners will take on 360 metres.
All runners will be rewarded with stunning views, an inspiring sense of community, and, for the swiftest among them, podium placements!

Backcountry skiing, along with being an exhilarating sport, is a way to appreciate untouched, snowy landscapes that may usually remain out of reach for outdoor explorers. Backcountry skiing isn't for the fainthearted – it requires elements of both mountaineering and skiing – but the scenes can be well worth it. If you are ready to adventure beyond the well-travelled slopes and take your adventuring to the next level, Mont Adventure Equipment is here with a guide to help you get started with the right equipment.

Your outdoor or rock-climbing experience is largely determined by two factors: your climbing ability and your choice of indoor & outdoor climbing shoes. At Mont Adventure Equipment, we understand that the best outdoor climbing shoes are not just about the brand or the price but about finding a perfect match for your feet and climbing style.

After the western light had faded I got my camera out and planned on doing a little astro photography. Pleasantly, my first image showed a cheery red and green glow to the south. The Southern Lights were active!
