Join us for a run and The Bloody Mission afterparty with New Balance in Hobart on the 12th of April!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In 2022 Cal Gates ran the 250km Great North Walk from Sydney to Newcastle to raise money for blood cancer. <\/span>The<\/span><\/i> Blood Run<\/span><\/i> became a touching feature film that captured Cal\u2019s fundraising efforts after his mother-in-law passed away from acute myeloid lymphoma, a kind of leukaemia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now he\u2019s back and this time, it\u2019s gonna be <\/span>The<\/span><\/i> Bloody Mission. <\/span><\/i>To tackle the Tasmanian Trail on two feet (our writer Taylor has <\/span>only done it on a bike<\/span><\/a>) Cal\u2019s enlisted a crew of mates, Dan, Matt, Steeley and Jesse, who are aiming to raise $5k each for their efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The effort? Two 50km legs each (within 32 hours), run as a relay, until the thing is done.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join The Bloody Mission Afterparty!<\/h2>\n

We are Explorers and New Balance are helping Cal and <\/span>The Bloody Mission<\/span><\/i> crew throw a huge afterparty in Hobart to celebrate the run. On the 12th of April we\u2019re taking over newly refurbished pub The Waggon in Hobart, with beers supplied by the epic crew from Boags,<\/span> for a proper hoedown feat. <\/span>Lawson Hull<\/span><\/a> on guitar, and a chance to hear from Cal and MC Thom Wood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh and <\/span>of course<\/span><\/i> we\u2019ll go for a trot beforehand! Our mates from New Balance will be there with a testing fleet of their new <\/span>Fresh Foam X Hierro V9 trail runner<\/span><\/a>, which our social media lord Jack has been cruising around in for the last month or so.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aim for Greatness<\/h2>\n

Filmmaker Mitch Gates said it best after making <\/span>The Blood Run<\/span><\/i> into a film:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018When I turned 30, I set a goal to create a meaningful feature film by 35. I never anticipated how life-changing the process would be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making The Blood Run taught me two key lessons:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Aim for greatness.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Help others do the same.\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We\u2019re on board with Cal\u2019s bloody mission because it has heart. The crew are setting out to raise awareness and much-needed funds for leukaemia research, but they\u2019re also inspiring people to live their own lives to the full. Whether that\u2019s running through 480km of Tasmanian wilderness, running 5km with us on the 12th of April at The Waggon, or some other inspiring goal, it\u2019s a big kick up the arse to get out there. It (probably) doesn\u2019t even have to be running!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Check out the launch video to meet the crew, grab your ticket if you\u2019re local, and throw a donation<\/a> in the tin.<\/span><\/p>\n
