We’re fired up to kick off Season 8 of the TeamCPNZ Kathmandu Coast to Coast Podcast, and what a way to start the 2027 season.

In Episode 1, we bring you stories, insights, and inspiration from across the field…We catch up with 2026 Longest Day Men’s Champion, Hamish Elliot, as he shares his journey to the Coast to Coast start line and the key learnings from an epic day out on course.

We also chat with TeamCPNZ athlete Calan Jones, who took on the 2 Day event this year. Calan reflects on her two-day adventure from the wild West Coast to the East Coast, offering real insights into what it takes to prepare for and tackle this iconic challenge. 

And joining us for a race perspective, Race Director Glen Currie gives us a recap of the 2026 event, along with valuable tips for first-timers heading into 2027.

From elite performance to first-timer advice, this episode has something for everyone, whether you’re dreaming of the start line or already training.

We’re so excited to be back and to bring you another season of stories, learning, and community as we build towards the 2027 Kathmandu Coast to Coast.
